"Each day that comes is not a privilege to think about wrong people and things in a negative way and disturb not just your mind, but your heart as well! Each day is however, a great privilege to be thankful to God and mind the business of your life; how to summon all challenges, limit your mistakes and improve your wit and wisdom, and how to move your footsteps to live noble and indelible footprints!"

"Ask yourself and become more aware-are you . . . Speaking poorly of others in judgment, gossip, and intolerance? Looking for, dwelling on, and obsessing over the negative? Being grumpy, negative, and infecting others with your bad attitude or victim mentality?"

Attitude
"I read all the time. I was reading a book I admire very much by Alice McDermot called Charming Billy."
Time
"I think it's linked to the realisation that we're not going to live forever and that the way of saying and the language become more important than the story."
Language
"I love the description of Gothic churches before the printed word, that they were the bibles of the poor."
Love
"I think that each of us inhabits a private world that others cannot see. The only difference between the writer and the reader is that the writer is able to dramatise that private world."
Difference
"I think technique can be taught but I think the only way to learn to write is to read, and I see writing and reading as completely related. One almost couldn't exist without the other."
Reading

Church
"We absolutely believed in Heaven and Hell, Purgatory, and even Limbo. I mean, they were actually closer to us than Australia or Canada, that they were real places."
Religion
"When you're in danger of losing a thing it becomes precious and when it's around us, it's in tedious abundance and we take it for granted as if we're going to live forever, which we're not."
