The first draft is just you telling yourself the story. - Terry Pratchett

"Books must be treated with respect, we feel that in our bones, because words have power. Bring enough words together they can bend space and time."

"We have been so successful in the past century at the art of living longer and staying alive that we have forgotten how to die. Too often we learn the hard way. As soon as the baby boomers pass pensionable age, their lesson will be harsher still."

"This isn't life in the fast lane, it's life in the oncoming traffic."

"Stories of imagination tend to upset those without one."

"Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom."
