I still taste the past.

“Sometimes a shock to the system is a good thing, you know? Like a reminder that you’re alive.”

“Whatever you are, be a good one.”

“I loved him very much - more than I could trust myself to say - more than words had power to express.”

“I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings.”

“You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can’t, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world…”

“What a damnably lonely profession writing is! In order to do it, one must banish the world, and having banished it, one feels cosmically alone.”

When I look at my life and at the secret color which it has, I feel as if tears were trembling in my heart.

“I’m only half here. I’m only half wicked, and half of me is down there with you, clean and bright and crystal-clear as running water…”

“ELEKTRA : I am the shape you made me. Filth teaches filth.”

“In writing, habit seems to be a much stronger force than either willpower or inspiration.”
