"Everyone is a salesman, and the product is each person. Personal branding is being conscious to the continual nature of selling yourself."

"The difference between me and other people is that they all walk around with onion skins wrapped around them. Pre-meditations, pretentions, the faces that they present to the world, the faces that they present to themselves.. onion skins that come in layer after layer. They're on the inside of all that. And I... I am the inside of the onion skin walking around. I am only me."

"People don't always want to be with people. It gets tiring."

"Treat everyone you meet as if they were you."

"People will always have opinions about your decision because they're not courageous enough to take action on their opinion."

"You can tell people the truth, but they'll never believe you until the event. In the meantime, the truth will just piss them off and get you in a lot of trouble."

"The white cat Sal-al was lying on the straw matting in the empty conservatory. She looked at us with a wicked, conceited expression as if all her appetites had just been satisfied. She was beautiful. Vesta and I both said, "I wish I were a cat!"Before we got to the last word we smiled at each other in annoyance, not liking the idea that most human beings think very much alike."

"Because, sometimes, things happen to people and they're not equipped to deal with them."

"A writer is one who communicates ideas and emotions people want to communicate but aren't quite sure how, or even if, they should communicate them."
