The only obsession everyone wants: 'love.' People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you're whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You're whole, and then you're cracked open.

I'm obsessed with reinvention. I'm obsessed with identity. I'm obsessed with the future.

I try to write books that are both entertaining and thought-provoking.

"Memory is a strange thing. It doesn't work like I thought it did. We are not meant to remember everything. We're meant to forget, to move on."

Every seed planted is a promise to future generations.

You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches.
