Most crime fiction plots are not ambitious enough for me. I want something really labyrinthine with clues and puzzles that will reward careful attention.
Sun must set so that we can long for its rise!
There is a hidden message in every waterfall. It says, if you are flexible, falling will not hurt you!
If you think life is a smooth sea, you will soon be awakened from this sweet dream by the slap of a bitter wave!
An ordinary visit to a beautiful garden always creates an extraordinary time!
As long as your curiosity is greater than your fear, you will move forward!
When you are alone, bless the solitude; when you are with someone, bless the togetherness! Think of the seagull: It flies alone happily; it flies with another happily too! Solitude is a food; togetherness is a food; man needs both and he must be happy with both!
Everybody would be better off if they could buy housing for only, let's say, a carrying charge of one-quarter of their income. That used to be the case 50 years ago.

If God is an author and the universe is the biggest novel ever written, I may feel as if I'm the lead character in the story, but like every man and woman on Earth, I am a suporting player in one of billions of subplots.

Learn to reverence night and to put away the vulgar fear of it.
