don't sabotage your own greatness by succumbing to failure!
Terry McMillan
Image
Parents can ruin children, and sometimes that's a learned behavior. Sometimes you can't blame your parents for it, sometimes you can. I think to me, that's what the whole paradox is, is people that have children that don't even know how to raise them.

Writing is my shelter. I don't hide behind the words I use them to dig inside my heart to find the truth.
Terry McMillan
Image
Good parents have children who do terrible things and vice-versa.
Terry McMillan

I like doing the readings and the autographing, but the interviewing gets a little tedious because you get asked the same questions every day and sometimes three or four times a day.
Terry McMillan
Image
People always have something to say about what you do and how you do it.
Terry McMillan

Back then I confused passions and orgasms with love. It look me years to realize the two weren't synonymous.

Few writers are willing to admit writing is autobiographical.
Terry McMillan
Image
We get divorce, we get conned, someone we love dies, or we can't find anybody to love us or somebody breaks our heart and we realize this fairy tale ain't fair. So we suffer.
Terry McMillan

The best rush in the world is getting something at 80 percent off.
Terry McMillan
Image
happiness aint got no Ph.D. or no certain amount of zeroes behind it!
Terry McMillan
Image
I just believe that young people need to be able to learn how to write in their own voice. Just like a musician, you pride yourself on having your own distinct sound.
Terry McMillan
Image
I don't let negative criticism, for the most part, bother me.
Terry McMillan
Image
I love writing in first person more than third. I have to basically suspend my own world. I don't exist. I'm just a conduit. So I can be eight years old. I can be the mother of a kid that you find out certain things I'm not going to say.
Terry McMillan
Image
Cruising the Internet doesn't count as writing. Neither does answering e-mail. Before you check Twitter & FB and do other similar tasks that get in the way of writing, write first. (I really need to take my own advice here!)
Terry McMillan
Image
I don't trust white critics' judgment about most things that deal with black life, particularly when a black person is the creator.
Terry McMillan
Image
People like to run their mouths.
Terry McMillan
Image
I would be content being a housewife if I could find the kind of man who wouldn't treat me like one.
