"Writing is a form of prayer."

"The most powerful word in the English language is 'story'; the person who has the best story wins."

"Do not allow yourself to hate, as, history shows, this weakens and defeats the person who hates."

"Life is meant to be lived with passion."

"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."

"Life is a journey, not a destination."

"Life's too short for regrets."
