“The need to write comes from the need to make sense of one's life and discover one's usefulness.”
“It does not make you less of a woman to need a man. To need one to exist, yes, this is nonsense. To need one to give one scope and importance, this is dishonest. But to need a man, one man, to bring joy and passion? This is life”
“Writing is making sense of life. You work your whole life and perhaps you've made sense of one small area.”
“You rarely have time for everything you want in this life, so you need to make choices. And hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.”
“Live to discover, as long as discovery leads to a love that comes from the Creator... writing was the mirror to life.”
“Always make your needs and expectations known,she used to say. That way no one gets hurt.”
