At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. Its like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And its not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even take your breath away.

I must go deeper and even stronger into my treasure mine and stint nothing of time, toil, or torture.

I did not have one bad spell during writing - an unprecedented record.

I am full of fire and passion. I am not ready yet for great concentration and passion.

No one connected intimately with a writer has any appreciation of his temperament, except to think him overdoing everything.

If I fished only to capture fish, my fishing trips would have ended long ago.

I can write best in the silence and solitude of the night, when everyone has retired.
