"The very first thing I tell my new students on the first day of a workshop is that good writing is about telling the truth. We are a species that needs and wants to understand who we are. Sheep lice do not seem to share this longing, which is one reason they write so very little. But we do. We have so much we want to say and figure out."
"Your experiences will be yours alone. But truth and best friendship will rarely if ever disappoint you."
"Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up."
"Everyone is flailing through this life without an owner's manual, with whatever modicum of grace and good humor we can manage."
"You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do."
