I was a reader before I could be a writer.
“I don't like people," said Velvet. "... I only like horses.”
“If more people valued home, above gold, this world would be a merrier place.”
“If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”.
“Instructions for living a life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it."
“And that's the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.”
“The consequence of this is that I'm always finding humans at their best and worst. I see their ugly and their beauty, and I wonder how the same thing can be both. (Death)”
