You know, everybody has all kinds of stories,

I always do like to write love stories, even if they end tragically.

Australian Aborigines say that the big stories — the stories worth telling and retelling, the ones in which you may find the meaning of your life — are forever stalking the right teller, sniffing and tracking like predators hunting their prey in the bush.

While there's time left, I want to do different kinds of things.

It is the gift of stories that most repays life among settled people.

They've heard all kinds of horror stories about what can happen in jail and how they'll be locked up and someone will throw away the key.
