"Memory is a few lines snipped from a larger story that we are privileged to tuck away between the pages of our minds."
"Maybe I have never had the Christmas I remember, since we never remember the event itself but just the last time we revisited the memory. I have woven together a few dozen scraps (the Sears catalog, my father videoing everything we did, Christmas parties and visits with Santa) and pretended they amount to one perfect, cohesive moment, but I am as guilty as baby-boomers, who dictated unconsciously that all the songs they listened to in 1963 would be the timeless Christmas standards of today."
"But I believe above all that I wanted to build the palace of my memory, because my memory is my only homeland."
"My life is an open book; at least this photo album."
"When our consciousness has become a haven of illusions, our mind may have a hard time to fight the maze in our thinking. Only anchor points from our past and the innocence of our childhood might give back the core of what we are. ['Not without the past']"
"Memory may be pig-headed and want us to follow its whims along the blips and dips of our time line. ['All the words he always wanted to tell her.']"
"What you alter in the remembering has yet a reality, known or not."

"It's only when you're forbidden to talk about the future that you suddenly realize how much the future normally occupies the present, how much of daily life is usually spent making plans and attempting to control the future. Never mind that you have no control over it. The idea of the future is our greatest entertainment, amusement, and time-killer."
"I write lustily and humorously. It isn't calculated; it's the way I think. I've invented a writing style that expresses who I am."
"I know some good marriages-marriages where both people are just trying to get through their days by helping each other being good to each other."
"The greatest feminists have also been the greatest lovers. I'm thinking not only of Mary Wollstonecraft and her daughter Mary Shelley, but of Anais Nin, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and of course Sappho. You cannot divide creative juices from human juices. And as long as juicy women are equated with bad women, we will err on the side of being bad."
"Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads."
