To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.
Stories are the way we make sense of the world, but they are also the way we deceive ourselves.
"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are."
"The best stories are the ones that surprise the writer as much as the reader."
"A good story should make you laugh and cry in equal measure."
"The worst thing you can do to a writer is leave them alone."
Memory is a strange thing, it doesn't work like I thought it did. Memory is not a simple thing at all.
The truth is not always the best story.
Writing is about making something seem real, not about making it real.
"A good story should both disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed."
"Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to tell the simplest truth."
"The most ordinary lives can contain extraordinary stories."
"The world is full of stories, but only a few are worth telling."
"Every story is two stories - the one on the surface and the one hidden beneath."
Every love story is a ghost story in disguise.
The world is full of stories, but the stories are all one.
The best way to forget something is to replace it with something better.
The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.
The story is not in the words; it's in the struggle.
