“There's something impoverished in those who want to really have everything.”

“Don't envy those who seems having everything, they don't really have everything. They have what they want and live the life they want but they don't have what they really need.”

“If you want to really know something you have to observe or experience it in person; if you claim to know something on the basis of hearsay, or on happening to see it in a book, you'll be a laughingstock to those who really know.”

“All writing is that structure of revelation. There's something you want to find out. If you know everything up front in the beginning, you really don't need to read further if there's nothing else to find out.”

“Those of us who frequent the band room have long suspected that Becca maintains her lovely figure by eating nothing but the souls of kittens and the dreams of impoverished children.”

“For everything that reminds me of who I am, there's always something reminding me of who I'm not.”
