"Some of this bookâ€”perhaps too muchâ€”has been about how I learned to do it. Much of it has been about how you can do it better. The rest of itâ€”and perhaps the best of itâ€”is a permission slip: you can, you should, and if you're brave enough to start, you will. Writing is magic, as much the water of life as any other creative art. The water is free. So drink. Drink and be filled up."

“People are morons. I don't do any social media stuff. I have people telling me all the time, "You should do Twitter, you should do this, you should get on Facebook." Are you insane? I'm not doing any of that crap. I stay the hell off that thing. Every once in a while, I send a business email, and that's it.”
“Our studies have shown that all cases of typhoid of this type have arisen by contact, that is, carried directly from one person to another. There was no trace of a connection to drinking water.”
“You know, you want everything you do, obviously, to be a success critically and commercially. But what you find out as you go along is that everything won't.”
