I write a thousand words a day.

But there are certain books I would never put on a Kindle because you want to be able to look at graphs and photos or the footnotes and maps. You can't see that.

I am old enough to know only too well my good and bad qualities, which were often one in the same.

When people are alive they love, when they die, they keep loving. If love ends when person dies, that is not real love

I've come to believe that part of lovesickness comes from this conflict between control and desire. In love we have no control. Our hearts and minds are tormented, teased, enticed and delighted by the overwhelming strength of emotions that make us try to forget the real world.
