The humble were the elect of God. Did not the priests teach so, in their gemmed, kingly robes, from their towering pulpits?

It was not apathy. It was an intelligent disinterest in those things that could have no bearing on one's existence.

If I ever get to 100, I'd want to be filled with wonder and wild, adolescent, wide-eyed interest in newness. So let's keep the flame burning. Let's stop thinking everyone over 29, or 49, has to be reinforced by concrete.

I will draw you back to me. You shall see. By a chain of stars.

You should visit before you pass judgment on a place.

I like writing about women, weak and strong, pathetic and heroic. I like writing about men, ditto. And all the variants of men and women, beasts and demons.

I also love Disney, and will defend doing so, because there's so much in those films and I don't care if it's stereotyped.

We all have our dreams. May we find them, and God have mercy on us when we do.

Your dreams will betray you. Go nowhere on a horse that fades.
