“Never say anything about yourself you don't want to come true”

“It was a distorted form of inverse logic: If hopes never come true, then hope for what you don't want.”

“There are times when you don't know yourself. There are times when you don't want to know yourself. There are times when you want to be what you have never allowed yourself to be before.”

“Writing is prophesy.
Don’t write anything unless you want it to come true.”

“People say to write about what you know. I'm here to tell you, no one wants to read that, cos you don't know anything. So write about something you don't know. And don't be scared, ever.”

“Coming up close
Everything sounds like welcome home.
Come home and oh, by the way,
Don't you know that I could make a dream that's barely half-awake come true?
I wanted to say — but anything I could have said I felt somehow that you already knew.”

“Don't ever write anything you don't like yourself and if you do like it, don't take anyone's advice about changing it. They just don't know.”

“Concentrate on what you want to say to yourself and your friends. Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness. You say what you want to say when you don't care who's listening.”

“Don't mind anything anyone tells you about anyone else. Judge everyone and everything for yourself.”

“Don't surrender all your joy for an idea you used to have about yourself that isn't true anymore.”
