I may never be happy, but tonight I am content.

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.

Perhaps some day I'll crawl back home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow.

I wonder why I don't go to bed and go to sleep. But then it would be tomorrow, so I decide that no matter how tired, no matter how incoherent I am, I can skip on hour more of sleep and live.

The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.

How we need another soul to cling to.

So much working, reading, thinking, living to do! A lifetime is not long enough.

Writing, then, was a substitute for myself: if you don't love me, love my writing & love me for my writing. It is also much more: a way of ordering and reordering the chaos of experience.

If they substituted the word 'Lust' for 'Love' in the popular songs it would come nearer the truth.

Is anyone anywhere happy?

Living with him is like being told a perpetual story: his mind is the biggest, most imaginative I have ever met. I could live in its growing countries forever.

Greatness is an opiate.

You’re talking about gold and silver, cash and securities. I’m talking about the sheer beauty of the land, the value of unpolluted parkland made wild and staying wild forever.

Love your flaws, and own your quirks.

All I have to do is find someone who has something to say that will enrich my life and they can't get rid of me.

I was taught by teachers, and if it's one thing I have it's a basketball mind and I try to pass it on and pay it forward.

The lightt of love flows out of our soul, but often it is blocked by our fear to show it.

The moral law commands us to make the highest possible good in a world the final object of all our conduct.

The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

Before a cat will condescend to treat you as a trusted friend, some little token of esteem is needed, like a dish of cream.

I think it's unfortunate to have critics for friends.
