"You and I are to be a true member of the provoked generation."
"It had felt as if I were truly awake for the first time, true knowledge running like ice in my blood.The memory exhilirated me for a moment, then left me with a broken cord of loss."

"You are going to feel like hell if you never write the stuff that is tugging on the sleeves in your heart--your stories, visions, memories, songs: your truth, your version of things, in your voice. That is really all you have to offer us, and it's why you were born."

The sky is your ocean, and the crystal silence will uplift you like great gospel music, or Neil Young."
"...I learned that God was an equal opportunity employer-that it was possible to experience the divine anywhere you were, anywhere you could see the sun and moon rise or set, or burn through the fog."
"A writer paradoxically seeks the truth and tells lies every step of the way. It's a lie if you make something up. But you make it up in the name of the truth, and then you give your heart to expressing it clearly."
"When you're kind to people, and you pay attention, you make a field of comfort around them, and you get it back-the Golden Rule meets the Law of Karma meets Murphy's Law."
