"All thoughts, secret or spoken, belong in a coffee table book written in Braille, so you can really feel the emotions."

"We aren't suggesting that mental instability or unhappiness makes one a better poet, or a poet at all; and contrary to the romantic notion of the artist suffering for his or her work, we think these writers achieved brilliance in spite of their suffering, not because of it."

"I know how you feel because I’ve been there too. I’ve hated and I’ve loved. I’ve seen my demons root and crawl and my angels branch and soar. I've died within myself and lived a thousand different lives. I too fight the same war and I too am drowning in the puddles of self-consciousness this world created."

"A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears."

"My hands could be considered deadly weapons. You see, I write with both of them."

"You’ll drown in my love story, if I ever write it using a fountain pen."

"Discipline allows magic. To be a writer is to be the very best of assassins. You do not sit down and write every day to force the Muse to show up. You get into the habit of writing every day so that when she shows up, you have the maximum chance of catching her, bashing her on the head, and squeezing every last drop out of that bitch."

"I had to learn to live without you and I couldn't make sense of it, because I left so much of me inside of you."

"When you write about what you dream, you become a writer.When you dream about what you write, you become haunted by a curse."

"The Sacred and The Scared. Which of these two categories does your love fall under? I should write a love poem on a rolled-up scroll so you’d know which one categorizes mine."

"I need you because I know I deserve you but let me fall in love with you one last time before I let go. So I can remember the beautiful imperfection that rattled my bones."

"Because I was a television writer for many years, I write very conversationally. I put things straight, and with a lot of humor."

"It’s funny, for all it took was a broken heart and that alone was enough, enough for her to do everything she ever dreamed of."

"Tweeting is talking into the abyss, filling a void in your life by avoiding real human contact."

"It is related that Sakyamuni [the historical Buddha] once dismissed as of small consequence a feat of levitation on the part of a disciple, and cried out in pity for a yogin by the river who had spent twenty years of his human existence learning to walk on water, when the ferryman might have taken him across for a small coin."
