I’m a writer. Therefore, I am not sane.

We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.

The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.

I lived in books more than I lived anywhere else.

A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities.
