Quote

People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.

Life - the way it really is - is a battle not between Bad and Good but between Bad and Worse.

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

One thing I like about historical fiction is that I'm not constantly focusing on me, or people like me; you're obliged to concentrate on lives that are completely other than your own.

I think life is pretty awesome.

Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.

I think I want to talk about life from the point of view of death.

I love life. I think it's fantastic. Sometimes it deals hard things, and when it deals great things, you have to seize them.

I think of life as a good book. The further you get into it, the more it begins to make sense.
