I think it's possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary.

There is no point treating a depressed person as though she were just feeling sad, saying, 'There now, hang on, you'll get over it.' Sadness is more or less like a head cold- with patience, it passes. Depression is like cancer.

The advantage of poetry over life is that poetry, if it is sharp enough, may last.

Love yourself first, because that's where all the magic begins.
