Val Edward Simone

“Passion should burn hot, or what good is it to anyone?”

“We fiction writers are a brazen lot, are we not? For we, in our passion, embrace just enough truth to consecrate our delicately contrived lies.”

“The ship did not leave without you. It left to make room for your ship soon to arrive....the power of hope and faith.”

“Some of us are not meant for greatness. We are meant for something greater.”

“The path for you is chosen by you.”

“Learn to live, love and laugh....And to enjoy a good story when there is one to be heard.”

“If you believe that goodness lives on forever, then you might also believe that death is but temporary.”

“Just as hate can follow you through your life, love can lead you.”

“If you are not in charge of your life, who is?”

“To tell you the truth. I am a wild and passionate novelist. I am therefore easily given over to telling wild and passionate lies.”
