“Whatever it takes to break your heart and wake you up is grace.”
“Whatever it takes to break you.”
“A short story is the ultimate close-up magic trick -- a couple of thousand words to take you around the universe or break your heart.”
“And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.Get over your hill and see what you find there,With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair”
“At its best, the sensation of writing is that of any unmerited grace. It is handed to you, but only if you look for it. You search, you break your heart, your back, your brain, and then--and only then--it is handed to you.”
“Grace, baby, please, please wake up. Grace, please don't leave me, please. I love you.”
