When people disappoint you, it's just as much your responsibility to be aware of it and what you don't want.

Share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.

A lot of people ask me if I'm OK. I'm capable of crazy - a lot of people are - but I'm OK.

I sometimes write as if I were talking to myself, or to a mirror, or to someone for the last time. There's this element of confrontation.

It's hard to force a relationship with a stranger even if they happen to be someone you happen to share blood with.

I really wanted to talk about the War on Terror and say that both sides were completely incompetent [in addressing it]. You can't blame the other side when you're involved in it.

My conversations with Trump supporters have left me with more questions than answers.

Take the lowest place, and you shall reach the highest.

Climbers are a universal tribe: we share the knowledge that things are not important. Experience is important. Feeling is important.

The same parts of my brain get as excited as when I study bio or read a novel and write a paper on it.
