“Only God can write the end of your story.”
“Only write a story that only you can write. ”
“You’ve gone far away to a place with no horses and very little grass, and you’re studying how to write a story with a happy ending. If you can write that ending for yourself, maybe you can come back.”
“You can't write ... on the strength of influence. You can only write a good story or a good novel by yourself.”
“My story - my own personal story - ended before my writing began. Storytelling has only ever been a way of filling in the time since everything finished.”
“Maybe the only way our story can end is varying degrees of sad.”
