jobs crazy cancer
I was tired and crazy and rushed, and every time I boarded a plane, I wanted the plane to crash. I envied people dying of cancer. I hated my life. I was tired and bored with my job and my furniture, and I couldn’t see any way to change things. Only end them.
crazy fall shadow
Going to work just looked crazy. Eating another meal, ever, made about as much sense as planting tulip bulbs in the shadow of a falling atom bomb.
crazy littles looks
Everybody looks a little crazy if you're looking close enough and if you can't look that close, then you don't really love them.
crazy world binary
Since we do operate in a binary world, if there's something that cannot be this or that, it drives us crazy.
crazy stupid people
The problem with educating stupid people was that they didn’t know they were stupid. The same went for curing crazy people.
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.
age god
At the age of 31, I realized, 'Oh my God, I may die like everyone else.'
longer time
Most novels, I find, are three times longer than they need to be. Very little happens, and I don't want to waste my time with them.
