The more you expect from life, the more your expectations will be fulfilled. By laughing, you do not use up your laughter, but increase your store of it. The more you love, the more you will be loved. The more you give, the more you will receive. Life proves that truth every hour, every day. And life continues to surprise.

In this world only the paranoid survive.

Books had shown me, however, that all people everywhere wanted their lives to have purpose and meaning. This longing was universal.

They said there was no rest for the wicked. In fact, there was rest neither for the virtuous nor the wicked, nor for guys like Billy, who were uncommitted regarding the whole idea of virtue versus wickedness and who were just trying to do their jobs.

There's evil in the world, all right. Being aware of it makes you a realist, not a paranoid.

Not an insult sweetie. That was a thirteen word kiss.

I enjoy the hell out of writing but don't like what follows: promotion and publicity, which I always strive to keep to a minimum, sometimes to my publisher's dismay.

No, if there's any ultimate redemption, it would be because I passed though your life without scarring you, and did not diminish who you are.
