“Write what you know, and what do you know better than your own secrets?”

“The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil. It is not for you to choose what he shall know, what he shall do. It is chosen and foreordained and he only holds the key to his own secret.”

“Do you know what it means to be loved by Death?… Do you know what it means to have Death know your name?”

“Write about what you don't know about what you know.”

“I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong, but what should I do?”

“What do you do when you know you are breaking someone's heart, but to do anything else would break your own?”

“No one knows better than I do how far heaven is, but I also know all the shortcuts. The secret is to die, when you want to, and not when He proposes. Or else to force Him to take you before your time.”

“Knowing what you can not do is more important than knowing what you can do. In fact, that's good taste.”

“We are afraid of what we do not know. Therefore, the secret of fear is in knowing as much as you can. Leaving all the dogmas behind you!”

“Write what you know.”
