“Together, one mind, one life (one small step at a time), let’s see how many people (and lives) we can encourage, impact, empower, enrich, uplift and perhaps even inspire to reach their fullest potentials.”
“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”
‘We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.’

* A Movable Feast (his last work)
(“damaged wings and love of light”)
“Writing is a lonely life…but when a writer writes, he sheds his loneliness, he does his work himself… and must face his eternity… alone.”
