"True wisdom often comes from the experience of failure-not from success."

"Because of ignorance and negligence we lost the most precious value-life."

"If you want to write a fantasy story with Norse gods, sentient robots, and telepathic dinosaurs, you can do just that. Want to throw in a vampire and a lesbian unicorn while you're at it? Go ahead. Nothing's off limits. But the endless possibility of the genre is a trap.

But a nervous mother singing to her child at night while something moves quietly through the dark outside her house? That's a story. Handled properly, it's more dramatic than any apocalypse or goblin army could ever be."

This is the hand of a woman who would climb a rope of her own hair to freedom, or kill a captor ogre in his sleep.
