“All stories are, in some form, prayers.”
“What is prayer but a wish for the events in your life to string together to form a story -- something that makes some sense of events you know have meaning.”
“The short story is not, as some believe, a lesser form of literature than the novel.”
“There are some books that refuse to be written. They stand their ground year after year and will not be persuaded. It isn't because the book is not there and worth being written -- it is only because the right form of the story does not present itself. There is only one right form for a story and if you fail to find that form the story will not tell itself.”
“Silence is one of many forms of prayer.”
“Love is the story and the prayer that matters the most.”
