Whispering makes a narrow place narrower.

it's like a squid in love with the sky.

I do not know what I regret. I sit with my pen, and cannot find an end to that sentence.

The sky was as blue as a stupid postcard, and the islands were as green as islands.

The natural world is so adaptable...So adaptable you wonder what's natural.

Older teens tend to write to me and say, 'Thank you for not writing down to teenagers.'

Why not write a book which is as sophisticated as a book for an adult, but is about the concerns that teenagers actually have?

It's insulting to believe that teens should have a different kind of book than an adult should.

Teens are not like the weird, dumb dwarves you have around your house. They are actually you when you were younger.

I can't tell you how irritating it is to be an atheist in a haunted house.

At long last, you may no longer distinguish what binds you from what is you.

One of my objectives is learning more than is absolutely necessary.

Strange, how the best moments of our lives we scarcely notice except in looking back.

Knowledge gained through experience is far superior and many times more useful than bookish knowledge.

I went to a performing arts high school, we learned Shakespeare, I did 'Fences.' When you train, you can do anything.

Life is like the Internet: sometimes is almost impossible to connect.

Like men, nations are purified and strengthened by trials.

Most people are fools, most authority is malignant, God does not exist, and everything is wrong.
