memories adventure stories
At some point, your memories, your stories, your adventures, will be the only things you'll have left.
real adventure order
You realize that people take drugs because it's the only real personal adventure left to them in their time-constrained, law-and-order, property-lined world. It's only in drugs or death we'll see anything new, and death is just too controlling.
single real adventure
I want out of the labels. I don't want my whole life crammed into a single word. A story. I want to find something else, unknowable, some place to be that's not on the map. A real adventure.' A spinx. A mystery. A blank. Unknown. Undefined.
adventure horror-stories true-life
We’d turn our lives into a terrible adventure. A true-life horror story with a happy ending. A trial we’d survive to talk about.
real adventure maps
I want to find something else, unknowable, some place that's not on the map. A real adventure.
adventure years law
People had been working for so many years to make the world a safe, organized place. Nobody realized how boring it would become. With the whole world property-lined and speed-limited and zoned and taxed and regulated, with everyone tested and registered and adressed and recorded. Nobody had left much room for adventure, except maybe the kind you could buy. [...] The laws that keep us safe, these same laws condemn us to boredom.
mistake writing adventure
Have your adventures, make your mistakes, and choose your friends poorly -- all these make for great stories.
exist germs god people
Arguing that God doesn't exist would be like people in the 10th century arguing that germs and microbes didn't exist because they couldn't see them.
apostle escape follow hard running
Every apostle or disciple, as much as they're running to follow their savior- they're running just as hard to escape something else.
people stuff wild
People say I make up wild stories. But all I have to do is write down stuff that really happens.
characters third
The third person allows characters to really attack themselves. We all do this - attack ourselves - every hour of our lives.
crave forget matter sex
The thing about sex is no matter how much you crave it, you can forget it.
looks room three windows woods
I usually write in my kitchen, which is a large, octagonal room that looks into woods - three big windows look out into the trees.
adopt fringe model people presenting
I've always been very curious about fringe cultures where people temporarily adopt a different social model or way of presenting themselves.
