"I don't want to repeat my innocence. I want the pleasure of losing it again."

"I want to be a part of those who make the world a better place, not just those who consume it."

"I write for the same reason I breathe – because if I didn't, I would die."

"You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say."

"I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."
