Without the voice of reason, every faith is its own curse.

My comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow meaningless party.

Let your pain be my sorrow. Let your tears be my tears too. Let your courage be my model. That the north you find will be true.

You have to be yourself. Stay true to who and what you are. And if people still like you, that's great! If they don't, that's their problem.

I'm not much of a family man. I'm just not that into it. I love kids, I adore them, but I don't want to live my life for them.

Be yourself, no matter what they say.

If you make your living writing, and you can't write anything, it's over. It's very frightening.
