"Patience isn't tested when it is self-imposed and the duration is self-regulated. Patience is hardly tested when the outcome means little to you. However, when circumstances beyond your control force you to wait with baited breath knowing the outcome will affect your life substantially, that is the true test of patience. It is a cage inside a burning building where every exit is blocked by angels calmly advising you to wait a moment longer. Your choice is to either trust their words or madly claw through them."

"I thought that love would last forever. But nothing is forever. Life is not forever. The only reliable permanence is change. Love hurts because change is painful. Love hurts because love lost is an assault on our ego. We fear that we will fail again and those who live in fear of failure slowly but inevitably fail."

"Good writing like good sex requires discipline."
Writing
"I understood how strangers met and fell into bed, not how they met and fell in love. I wasn't sure what falling in love meant. The very notion seemed so corny, so arbitrary, so fragile."
Love
"When you remove love from sex you enter a mansion with many rooms shaded in nuance and excess, an invitation to peel away all conventions and programming. A chance to explore your hidden self. You shed something and clothe yourself in something else. Sex is the greatest of gifts. Orgasm a glimpse of perfection."
Love
"If the existentialists are right, that life is meaningless, and if we acknowledge that, we are better equipped to find pleasure in small things."
Philosophy
"One passion leads to another. It's passion that makes the wheels of life turn, passion for work, passion for pleasure, passion for passion."
Inspirational
"Innocence isn't something we lose, but realise we don't need."
Philosophy
"You don't feel yourself falling in love, like it's a journey, a process; on the contrary, it hits you like a sudden ague, a fever, the realisation that your life will never be the same again."
Romance
"Books have a life. They breathe. When you write a book, it grows and changes. You learn from your characters after you create them. They come from you and you become them."
Knowledge
"When you've been everywhere, tried it all and done it all, what's left is the exploration of self, intellectually and sexually, through curiosity and erotica."
