Dying Is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well.

Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.

If I didn’t think, I’d be much happier.

If you expect nothing from anybody, you’re never disappointed.

I ride earth's burning carousel. Day in, day out.

What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.

Go out and do something. It isn’t your room that’s a prison, it’s yourself.

I desire the things that will destroy me in the end.

And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.

Writers start with a grain of sand, and then create a beach.

You are free. Close your eyes. Open your mind. Let this music in, and you will see that this is true

Now that I knew fear, I also knew it was not permanent. As powerful as it was, its grip on me would loosen. It would pass.
