<p>I didn't fall in love$$$ I rose in it.</p>

<p>I welcomed the circling sharks but they avoided me as if knowing I preferred their teeth to the chains around my neck my waist my ankles.</p>

<p>What you do to children matters. And they might never forget.</p>

<p>You don't have to love me but you damn well have to respect me.</p>

<p>I wrote my first novel because I wanted to read it.</p>

<p>To be given dominion over another is a hard thing; to wrest dominion over another is a wrong thing; to give dominion of yourself to another is a wicked thing.</p>

<p>Anger is better. There is a sense of being in anger. A reality and presence. An awareness of worth. It is a lovely surging.</p>

<p>It is sheer good fortune to miss somebody long before they leave you.</p>

<p>The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.</p>

<p>...everything made by man's hands has a form$$$ which must be either beautiful or ugly; beautiful if it is in accord with Nature$$$ and helps her; ugly if it is discordant with Nature$$$ and thwarts her; it cannot be indifferent...</p>
