“Good stories bare the heart and soul of human beings.”
“To tell a love story true, a romance writer must bare hearts, souls and bodies.”
“It is with the soul that we grasp the essence of another human being, not with the mind, nor even with the heart.”
“When bad things turn good, the reason can usually be found in the human heart—sometimes in the hearts of great masses of people, sometimes in the heart of a solitary soul.”
“Not every story has a happy ending, ... but the discoveries of science, the teachings of the heart, and the revelations of the soul all assure us that no human being is ever beyond redemption. The possibility of renewal exists so long as life exists. How to support that possibility in others and in ourselves is the ultimate question.”
“In my writing, I want to be laid bare as a human being.”
