The only thing that matters is the story.
“ I’m not sure what I think until I write it down.”
“ Life changes fast. Life changes in the instant.”
“ The center will not hold.”
“ We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”
“ Writers are always selling somebody out.”
I think we are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be.
It is a good idea to be careful when you are in the presence of a writer.
You have to pick the places you don’t walk away from.
I’m not sure what I think until I write it down.
Life changes fast. Life changes in the instant.
The center will not hold.
We tell ourselves stories in order to live.
Writers are always selling somebody out.
You can’t do anything about the past.
