Cities - I'm attracted to them, and I have a special attachment to New York...it's my place.

Novels are fictions and therefore they tell lies, but through those lies every novelist attempts to tell the truth about the world.

There's hope for everyone. That's what makes the world go round.

Stories only happen to those who are able to tell them.

It always stimulates me to discover new examples of my own prejudice and stupidity, to realize that I don't know half as much as I think I do.

One should never underestimate the power of books.

If you're not ready for everything, you're not ready for anything.

Everything can change at any moment, suddenly and forever.

It often happens that things are other than what they seem, and you can get yourself into trouble by jumping to conclusions.

Memory is the space in which a thing happens for a second time.

It seems to me that I will always be happy in the place where I am not.

I am joyfully responsible for myself, my own happiness, and creating a joyful life.

It is impossible to survive in a prolonged state of reality.

But as bad as I am, I'm proud of the fact that I'm worse than I seem

I'm going for something very raw and organic.

The sense of responsibility in the financial community for the community as a whole is not small. It is nearly nil.

He that denies any of the doctrines that Christ has delivered, to be true, denies him to be sent from God, and consequently to be the Messiah; and so ceases to be a Christian.

I really like people and I keep friendships. I have people from all parts of my life.

I've heard it said that if you know English, Spanish, Italian, and I think it's French, you can go just about anywhere in this world...except for China where they have all those derelicts.

Believe in yourself, believe in your future.

I know we'll lead the league in defense.
