“True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.”

“Darkness as well as light. Or do I mean darkness, another kind of light? Lucifer would say so, and I have a weakness for fallen angels.”

“My mum taught me how to read before I went to kindergarden, I always thought that being able to read provided lightness, help to dispel darkness, ignorance and stupidity.”

“It would be too easy to say that I feel invisible. Instead, I feel painfully visible, and entirely ignored.”

“Unless a reviewer has the courage to give you unqualified praise, I say ignore the bastard.”
