We may talk a good game and write even better ones, but we never outgrow those small wounded things we were when we were five and six and seven.

Nothing ever becomes real till experienced – even a proverb is no proverb until your life has illustrated it

My personal opinion is that, if you're a professional writer, that you do have quotas. So every day I do try to write 800-1,200 words. I don't always achieve it, and the reality is that a lot of the words I write will end up on the cutting-room floor.

I often hear or read: “Time is money.” If that would be true, everyone would have exactly the same amount of money. As the pointer on the clock is ticking the same for everyone.

Money is just a means of survival, stop treating it like a God.

Remarkable how often there's a good reason that masks the real reason.
