“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.”

“Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?”

“Don't take life too seriously. Punch it in the face when it needs a good hit. Laugh at it.”

“there's no harm in hoping for the best as long as you're prepared for the worst.”

“I spent my life folded between the pages of books. In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”

“Resist much, obey little.”

“I am not proud, but I am happy; and happiness blinds, I think, more than pride.”

“I’d said it before and meant it: Alive or undead, the love of my life was a badass.”
