I have a small room to write in. One wall is completely covered in books. And I face the window with the curtain closed to stop the light hitting the computer.

People do not change, they are merely revealed.

Only bad writers think that their work is really good.

Write whatever way you like. Fiction is made of words on a page; reality is made of something else. It doesn't matter how "real" your story is, or how "made up": what matters is its necessity.

God, I hate my family, these people I never chose to love, but love all the same.

We do not always like the people we love- we do not always have that choice.

I have no place left to live but in my own heart.

The way to write a book is to actually write a book. A pen is useful, typing is also good. Keep putting words on the page.

I’m really lucky with the people around me. They know me, so they don’t confuse the issues really. They know what a book is and they know who I am and they know the difference between the two.

There are men who would do anything, asleep, and I'm not sure what stops them when they wake. I do not know how they draw the line.

Description is hard. Remember that all description is an opinion about the world. Find a place to stand.

God is more than able to guide you in the right path. Keep trusting Him.

My biggest challenge every day is to be a great mother and a great businesswoman.

When you have a father and a mother who work all their lives so you can have an education and build your body - it's a blessing.

If anyone tells me I'm fat, I say, - That's because every time I make love to your wife, she gives me a biscuit

I'm the worst at favourites! I don't have one - I love all my children, I love them all equally.

Real happiness is when you are happy for no reason at all; you are simply being.

If you can't change it.. change the way you think about it

Wake up Lovers, It is time to start the Journey! Let us kiss the ground & flow like a river towards the Ocean. Only love can lead the way.

I don't feel my job is on the line, but of course that might change.

By the grace of God you are what you are; glory in your selfhood, accept yourself and go on from there.
