A little talent is a good thing to have if you want to be a writer. But the only real requirement is the ability to remember every scar.

People who try hard to do the right thing always seem mad

Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.

Talent is a wonderful thing, but it won't carry a quitter

the only mortal sin is giving up.

If I kept saying it; if I kept reaching out. My accident really taught me just one thing: the only way to go on is to go on. To say 'I can do this' even when you know you can't.

I write to find out what I think.

Where the world ends is where you must begin

you must not come lightly to the blank page
