Memory is the diary that chronicles things that never happened or couldn't possibly have happened.

Do you think that I count the days? There is only one day left, always starting over: it is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe emphasized, “Treat a man as he appears to be and you make him worse. But treat a man as if he already were what he potentially could be, and you make him what he should be.

Every novel I've written has been about finding stuff out. I'm motivated much more by curiosity than by self-expression.
