"Listen to your own thoughts and feelings very carefully, be aware of your observations, and learn to value them. When you're a teenager-and even when you're older-lots of people will try to tell you what to think and feel. Try to stand still inside all of that and hear your own voice. It's yours and only yours, it's unique and worth of your attention, and if you cultivate it properly, it might just make you a writer."

I was a sour misanthrope, a beetling hypocrite, a conjurer's daughter, a mad and murderous king."
