Nobody that has seen a baby born can believe in god for a second.

People are always shouting they want to create a better future. It's not true. The future is an apathetic void of no interest to anyone. The past is full of life, eager to irritate us, provoke and insult us, tempt us to destroy or repaint it. The only reason people want to be masters of the future is to change the past. Milan Kundera
By being a celebrity, you lose your anonymity. It short-circuits your creative powers when people come up and interrupt your train of thought. They consider you completely approachable.

Leo Tolstoy quote: "He felt himself, and did not want to be anyone else. All he..."

How do you just charge ahead, always doing the right thing, even if you have to do it alone with people staring? Barbara Kingsolver
