We are all the heroes of our own stories.
The fundamental job of a kid is to be selfish—to pursue their own needs and desires—and the fundamental job of a parent is to be selfless.
The greatest predictor of a novel's quality is the novelist's willingness to confront the unlovely truth about himself or herself.
La verdad no es una sola, sino muchas, y cada una tiene su propia voz.
La literatura es el espejo en el que nos miramos para entender quiénes somos.
La memoria es un laberinto en el que nos perdemos para encontrarnos.
Escribir es un acto de valentía, de enfrentarse a uno mismo y al mundo.
A través de la literatura, podemos entender el mundo y a nosotros mismos.
A través de la literatura, podemos entender mejor a los demás y a nosotros mismos.
The greatest poverty is not to live in a physical desert, but to live as an exile in one's own heart.
To write is to make one's self a echo of the world's soul.
We are all patchwork, and so shapeless and diverse in composition that each bit, each moment, plays its own game.
Writing is about making something, not about expressing yourself.
"We are all prisoners of our own making, trapped by the stories we tell ourselves."
"In the end, we are all just trying to find our place in the world, to make sense of the chaos around us."
"The world is full of stories, but the ones that matter most are the ones we tell ourselves."
I believe in such cartography – to be marked by nature, not just to label ourselves on a map like the names of rich men and women on buildings.
Writing is about making something, not about expressing yourself.
"The stories we tell about ourselves and others have the power to shape our understanding of the world."
"I am interested in the way that the poem can be a kind of mirror, reflecting the reader's own experiences and emotions."
