"The past is always with us, but it doesn't have to define our future."

A good novel tells us the truth about its characters; a great novel tells us the truth about ourselves.

Fiction is the truth inside the lie.

The world is a place of the living, and the dead have no place in it. The dead are nothing. They are not even a memory. They are forgotten.

I'm a terrible liar, that's why I write songs.

The work of art is a fragment of the divine.
