"To me a good book is like a quiet friendâ€”a friend whoâ€™s happy to share thoughts and feelings with you, whoâ€™s always there when you need them. Best of all, this friend doesnâ€™t have any secrets. They trust you to understand them. They take you to their innermost places. They share their sensations and emotionsâ€”and they let you experience them. Wherever you go and however you feel, they are always by your side. For an hour, a day, a week, or forever, their life becomes yours. Their story is your story. Thatâ€™s the kind of book Iâ€™m trying to write."

“I want to do the right thing, but often I don't know just what the right thing is. Every day I know I have come short of what I would like to have done. Yet as the years pass and I see the very world itself, with its oceans and mountains and plains, as something unfinished, a peculiar little satisfaction hunts out the corners of my heart. Sunsets and evening shadows find me regretful at task's undone, but sleep and the dawn and the air of the morning touch me with freshening hopes. Strange things blow in through my window on the wings of the night wind and I don't worry about my destiny.”
