The world is difficult and we are all breakable. So just be kind.
A thing can be true and still be desperate folly.
I have learned that with creatures one loves, suffering is not the only thing for which one may pity them. A rabbit who does not know when a gift has made him safe is poorer than a slug, even though he may think otherwise himself.
We are all human and fall short of where we need to be. We must never stop trying to be the best we can be.
All the world will be your enemy, Prince of a Thousand enemies. And when they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you; digger, listener, runner, Prince with the swift warning. Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.
There is nothing that cuts you down to size like coming to some strange and marvelous place where no one even stops to notice that you stare about you.
You know how you let yourself think that everything will be all right if you can only get to a certain place or do a certain thing. But when you get there you find it's not that simple.
Has a world composed of "us" and "not us" been invaded at last?
Strange thoughts beget strange deeds.
I am a Justin Timberlake fan.
If you come from a working-class background, you can't afford to write full time, because you're just not being paid. Basically, all my arguments come down to Marxist doctrine: The world is shaped by money, so the only voices you'll hear are the ones with money behind them. But thankfully, culture and cool are some things that circumvent money, because if you're cool, people will want to give you money - suddenly you shape the market and people start coming to you. Which is why culture has always been a traditional way out for working-class people.
