That’s always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they’re pretty. It’s like picking your breakfeast cereals based on color instead of taste.
It always shocked me when I realized that I wasn’t the only person in the world who thought and felt such strange and awful things.
Whenever I’m asked what advice I have for young writers, I always say that the first thing is to read, and to read a lot. The second thing is to write. And the third thing, which I think is absolutely vital, is to tell stories and listen closely to the stories you’re being told.
People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used.
Without pain, How could we know joy?
Just remember that sometimes, the way you think about a person isn’t the way they actually are.
