“You live alone, creating your life as you go.”

“If you believe that life is worth living then your belief will create the fact.”

“Live your life, listen to your music way to loud, be crazy and as different as you want to be and always remember you are not alone.”

“Don't wait for it," I said. "Create a world, your world. Alone. Stand alone. Create. And then the love will come to you, then it comes to you. It was only when I wrote my first book that the world I wanted to live in opened to me.”

“You are going to let the fear of poverty govern your life and your reward will be that you will eat, but you will not live.”

“You have to go the way your blood beats. If you don't live the only life you have, you won't live some other life, you won't live any life at all.”

“Death alone gives meaning to life, and you will never fully live until you know you must die. And make your peace with that knowledge.”

“Live as though life was created for you.”

“You create your own universe as you go along.”

“When you live alone, your furnishings, your possessions, are always confronting you with the thinness of your existence.”
