Now she’s lit by the warm orange spreading from the horizon as not-quite-day, becomes not-quite-night

If I'm not telling you something, it's for a reason. Just because you trust me, it doesn't mean I have to automatically trust you. Trust doesn't work like that.

I can see that the sadness has returned. And it's not a beautiful sadness- beautiful sadness is a myth. Sadness turns our features to clay, not porcelain.

Falling in love with someone doesn’t mean you know any better how they feel. It only means you know how you feel.

I am a drifter, and as lonely as that can be, it is also remarkably freeing. I will never define myself in terms of anyone else.

It's one thing to fall in love. It's another to feel someone else fall in love with you, and to feel a responsibility toward that love.

Donald Trump is so egregious in the way he talks about women, the way he allegedly treated women.

You are treading the path to your greatness: no one shall follow you here! Your passage has effaced the path behind you, and above that path stands written: Impossibility.

It's so damn hard to write a great historical mystery based on fact. It's not for lack of trying.

Read the Bible for the salvation of your soul, not the solution to your problem.
