People are always the start for meanimals. When I can get into their heads, gods, supernatural beings,immortals, the deadthese are all people to me.

I think of myself as a storyteller, and that is it.

I began to feel lighthearted. Don't ever do that; it tempts some dark and evil force abroad in the universe.

What is any of this to us? Time is endless and ours. Love and Death are only the games we play in it.

I was reading some complex books in my own youth-and no, I didnt always understand every word, let alone every concept-but I got the main thrust, which was like a lifeline in a fluctuating world.

If they had said my writing wasn't good enough, fair enough, that's an opinion. But to say it's too complex is to insult the intelligence of the so-called young.

It's very selfish when I write. I'm not aware, ever, of writing for another person; I'm not even really aware of writing for myself.
