“Every organization needs at least one person who knows what's going on, and why it's happening, and who's doing it.”

“Do you know why I freaked out? Because I realized I'd fallen in love with my best friend. The very same person who had just told me she didn't love me. Call me an asshole for overreacting but that's what happened. You're not the only one who is hurting here, Perry. At least I didn't do it deliberately.”

“Every one of us knows who he is, and what God expects him to do.”

“Over and over I feel as if my characters know who they are, and what happens to them, and where they have been and where they will go, and what they are capable of doing, but they need me to write it down for them because their handwriting is so bad.”

“I think of how the person who needs the other person the least in a relationship is the stronger member.”

“There are people who make things happen, there are people whowatch things happen, and there are people who wonder whathappened. To be successful, you need to be a person who makesthings happen.”
