A writer must be hard to live with: when not working he is miserable, and when he is working he is obsessed. Or so it is with me.

Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it. Ray Bradbury
How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbour says or does or thinks, but only at what he does himself, to make it just and holy. Marcus Aurelius
If you were coming in the fall, I'd brush the summer by, With half a smile and half a spurn, As housewives do a fly. If I could see you in a year, I'd wind the months in balls, And put them each in separate drawers, Until their time befalls. Emily Dickinson
James Patterson quote: "This time I wouldn't forget him, because I couldn't ever..."
This time I wouldn't forget him, because I couldn't ever forgive him - for breaking my heart twice. James Patterson
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "Almost all the time, you tell yourself you're loving somebody..."
Almost all the time, you tell yourself you're loving somebody when you're just using them. This only looks like love. Chuck Palahniuk
But is it such a bad thing to live like this for just a little while? Just for a few months of one's life, is it so awful to travel through time with no greater ambition than to find the next lovely meal? Or to learn how to speak a language for no higher purpose than that it pleases your ear to hear it?
