Day, after day, after glorious day, I was falling in love with books.

You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down.

Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall.

Looking back over a lifetime, you see that love was the answer to everything.

Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things.

Sometimes you just have to jump out the window and grow wings on the way down.

I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.

Insanity is relative. It depends on who has who locked in what cage.

You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.

Write a short story every week. It's not possible to write 52 bad short stories in a row.

My greatest expectation is that I expect more of myself than anyone could expect.

My fans are definitely my shareholders, and I'm extremely thankful for them.

HOMŒOPATHIST, n. The humorist of the medical profession.

I'm tired of giving my best and not having it be good enough.

Happy, happy, happy pair! None but the brave deserves the fair.

Saddam Hussein's soldiers and his great forces gave the Americans a lesson which will not be forgotten by history. Truly.

All I really know is the extent of my own ignorance

Sometimes I make stuff, and even I don't like it. There's something about it that I don't really like, or annoys me. For whatever reason it needs to come out.

If we sit deep in meditation, the glow within the body will brighten, and will expand and spread outside. That is Devi Puja

And, by the way, I adore you.... in frightening, dangerous ways.
