“You don't start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it's good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That's why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence.”

“People have the right to call themselves whatever they like. That doesn't bother me. It's other people doing the calling that bothers me.”

“All that you touch You Change. All that you Change Changes you. The only lasting truth is Change. God is Change.”

“In order to rise From its own ashes A phoenix First Must Burn.”
