On writing.......
"There's a difference between writing for a living and writing for
life. If you write for a living, you make enormous compromises....
If you write for life, you'll work hard; you'll do what's honest,
not what pays."
"People say to write about what you know. I'm here to tell you, no one wants to read that, cos you don't know anything. So write about something you don't know. And don't be scared, ever.”
On feelings....
"I want to feel what I feel. What's mine. Even if it's not happiness, whatever that means. Because you're all you've got.”
On the oddity of love....
"Wicked People Love Wickedly, Violent People Love Violently, Weak People Love Weakly, Stupid People Love Stupidly, But The Love Of A Free Man Is Never Safe...”

On being a trail blazer....
"If there's a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
On the oddity of life....
"How exquisitely human was the wish for permanent happiness, and how thin human imagination became trying to achieve it.”
"We never shape the world . . . the world shapes us.”
On facial expression....
"Let your face speak what's in your heart.”
On loving yourself....
“You your best thing.”
"He can't value you more than you value yourself.”
I hope you find a quote here that touches your heart - maybe a smile, maybe a tear, maybe a loud laugh, maybe just a sigh. Hopefully a feeling that leaves you motivated and in a better mood for the day ahead.
Have a terrific Tuesday!
