“Good fiction makes the truth believable.”

“The beginning of being fine is noticing how things really are:1. Life is uncertain, surprises are likely.2. If you are alive, that’s good; lower the bar.3. In a dark place, you still have what really counts.4. If you are in a predicament, there will be a gate.5. What you need might be given to you.6. The true life is in between winning and losing.7. If you have nothing - give it away.”

“There's a reason I'm crazy, but it's fun!”

“Attention is the most basic form of love; through it we bless and are blessed”

“It is a good thing to learn the truth one's self. To first believe with all your heart, and then not to believe, is good too. It fattens the emotions and makes them to stretch. When as a woman life and people disappoint her, she will have had practice in disappointment and it will not come so hard. In teaching your child do not forget that suffering is good too. It makes a person rich in character.”

“Happy as a girl that lives in a world of make-believe”

“A life of fiction based on fact”
