Yeats was 18th-century oratory, almost.
Don’t have the veins bulging in your biro.
I will be conquered; I will not capitulate.
It is necessary to hope... for hope itself is happiness.
Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will.
It is the tale, not he who tells it.
A struggle, to the person experiencing it, is a struggle.
Is the capacity for cruelty inherent in all of us?
I think of myself as a journalist and a storyteller.
The amateur tweets. The pro works.
The Muse honors the working stiff.
India is my kid sister.
Nothing dries sooner than tears.
The key to my collections is sensuality.
Adults are just outdated children.
I'm fortunate enough not to be poor, and I'm not a bad tipper.
What we need is to use what we have.
Edinburgh is a comfortable puddle for a novelist.
You are you. Now, isn't that pleasant?
Be awesome! Be a book nut!
Only write if you can't not.
