write with honesty and don't worry about the feelings of others, because no matter what you say, they'll hate you anyway.

You can't find someone who doesn't want to be found.

Writing is a calling, not a choice.

Write what should not be forgotten.

We only have what we give.

The library is inhabited by spirits that come out of the pages at night.

Silence before being born, silence after death: life is nothing but noise between two unfathomable silences.

Of all fragrances, the sweetest is that of virtue.

Nothing changes; we humans repeat the same sins over and over, eternally.
