Even if God exists, does He know that you do?
Dean Koontz
Image

Writing a novel is like making love, but it's also like having a tooth pulled. Pleasure and pain. Sometimes it's like making love while having a tooth pulled.

When it came to formal classes, I was a slacker. But I've always been a diligent autodidact and can teach myself virtually any subject if I have a serious interest in it.

Loving the ideal more than the reality is the cause of all the misery the human species creates for itself.

Not all or even most suffering is at the hands of fate it befalls us at our invitation.
