Quote by Joyce Carol Oates

"The worst thing that ever happens to you may be the best thing for you if you don't let it get the best of you."

"Life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced."

"Writing is a form of prayer."

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

"Time waits for no one."

"Time spent with loved ones is never wasted."

"I've been alive for a long time. Long enough to know that you can't trust anyone."

"The past always catches up with you."
