Apart from all this, I do of course have a real life. I sometimes have trouble believing in it, because it doesn't seem like the kind of life I could ever get away with, or deserve.

Everything I have written up to now is trifling compared to that which I would like to write and would write with great pleasure...Either I am a fool and a self-conceited person, or I am a being capable of becoming a good writer; I am displeased and bored with everything now being written, while everything in my head interests, moves, and excites me--whence I draw the conclusion that no one is doing what is needed, and I alone know the secret of how it should be done. In all likelihood... Anton Chekhov

A man of middling quality was trying to marry her, and there was something wrong with her father's voice on the phone. Salman Rushdie
He was very religious; he believed that he had a secret pact with God which exempted him from doing good in exchange for prayers and piety. Jorge Luis Borges
It's been almost a century that Edward's been alone. Now he's found you. You can't see the changes we see, we who have been with him for so long. Do you think any of us want to look into his eyes for the next hundred years if he loses you? Stephenie Meyer
Michael Jordan quote: "If you do the work you get rewarded. There are no shortcuts in..."
If you do the work you get rewarded. There are no shortcuts in life. Michael Jordan
The end of the story of Batman is he's dead. Because, in the end, the Batman dies. What else am I going to do? Retire and play golf? It doesn't work that way. It can't. I fight until I drop. And one day, I will drop. Neil Gaiman
