The only time you fail is when you stop trying.

I want you to know， it isn’t always clear in the beginning because as I said I had been on television since I was 19 years old. But around ’94 I got really clear. So don’t expect the clarity to come all at once， to know your purpose right away.

The novel is an act of rebellion against reality, an attempt to reshape the world according to one's desires.

The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
