There is no pleasure in the world like writing well and going fast.

I met her last summer on a moonlight boat trip.

Friends are God's way of apologizing to us for our families

I'm not living with you. We occupy the same cage. (Maggie)

I try to work every day because you have no refuge but writing. When you're going through a period of unhappiness, a broken love affair, the death of someone you love, or some other disorder in your life, then you have no refuge but writing.

A prayer for the wild at heart kept in cages.

The object of art is to make eternal the desperately fleeting moment.
