“Recognizing who you are is not the subtext of a life. It's the main point.”
“Recognizing that you are not where you want to be is a starting point to begin changing your life.”
“You are nearing the land that is life; you will recognize it by its seriousness.”
“I know writers who use subtext, and they're all cowards.”
“If writing is thinking and discovery and selection and order and meaning, it is also awe and reverence and mystery and magic....Authors arrive at text and subtext in thousands of ways, learning each time they begin anew how to recognize a valuable idea and how to reader the texture that accompanies, reveals or displays it to its best advantage.”
“Why the coy drama? I want him and he wants me; who needs subtext?”
