“It may be normal, darling; but I’d rather be natural.”

Personally, I rather think that if you’re not creative you’ve got a problem on your hands. If you are creative you’ve got a double problem.

Love is a chain of love as nature is a chain of life.

Anticipation is anxiety. I have always had a very extreme anxiety thing.

Most secrets should never be told, but especially those that are more menacing to the listener than to the teller.

Anyone who ever gave you confidence, you owe them a lot.

It is very seldom that a person loves anyone they cannot in some way envy.

A boy has to peddle his book.

The brain may take advice, but not the heart.

The wind is us– it gathers and remembers all our voices, then sends them talking and telling through the leaves and the fields.

Writing stopped being fun when I discovered the difference between good writing and bad and, even more terrifying, the difference between it and true art. And after that, the whip came down.

I always write the end of everything first. I always write the last chapters of my books before I write the beginning. Then I go back to the beginning. I mean, it’s always nice to know where you’re going is my theory.

Really being friends is the most important part, I think, of any relationship.

Friendship is a pretty full-time occupation if you really are friendly with somebody. You can’t have too many friends because then you’re just not really friends.

Past certain ages or certain wisdoms it is very difficult to look with wonder; it is best done when one is a child; after that, and if you are lucky, you will find a bridge of childhood and walk across it.

It’s better to look at the sky than live there.

To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it’s about, but the inner music that words make.

We have a choice – to live or to exist.

I finally understood what true love meant. Love meant that you care for another person’s happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.

I’m pro-choice. But I hope that choice will be life.

If food is labeled, some people might choose to eat stuff that’s genetically modified. They might decide they love it. But give us a choice.

Everything you are comes from your choices.

Age is just a number; maturity is a choice.

Did you know that the White House drug test is multiple choice?

I come from a middle class family, and my parents weren’t too supportive of my career choices.
