Sometimes human beings are very much like bees. Bees are fiercely protective of their hive, provided you are outside it.

Nobody looks like what they really are on the inside. You don’t. I don’t. People are much more complicated than that. It’s true of everybody.

Being brave doesn't mean you aren't scared. Being brave means you are scared, really scared, badly scared, and you do the right thing anyway.

A short story is the ultimate close-up magic trick -- a couple of thousand words to take you around the universe or break your heart.

I still love the book-ness of books, the smell of books: I am a book fetishist—books to me are the coolest and sexiest and most wonderful things there are.
