"It’s not possible to advise a young writer because every young writer is so different. You might say, “Read,” but a writer can read too much and be paralyzed. Or, “Don’t read, don’t think, just write,” and the result could be a mountain of drivel. If you’re going to be a writer you’ll probably take a lot of wrong turns and then one day just end up writing something you have to write, then getting it better and better just because you want it to be better, and even when you get old and think “There must be something else people do” you won’t quite be able to quit."

"The time would come when you want to split open, surrender far more than your body, dump your whole life safely into one basket with his."

"I believe in what I see and baby we were meant to be."

"Send my love through a satellite, I wanna feel like we’re here tonight."

"I wanna marry you. I wanna have kids with you. I wanna build us a house. I wanna settle down and grow old. I wanna die when I’m a hundred ten years old in your arms. I don’t want 48 uninterrupted hours. I want a lifetime."
