people towns chance
People who stay in the same town with the same friends for their entire lives never get a chance to find out who they can really be, because they will always be considered as who they were.
philosophy giving forever
Others of us are lost. We're forever seeking. We torture ourselves with philosophies and ache to see the world. We question everything, even our own existence. We ask a lifetime of questions and are never satisfied with the answers because we don't recognize anyone as an authority to give them. We see life and the world as an enormous puzzle that we might never understand, that our questions might go unanswered until the day we die, almost never occurs to us. And when it does, it fills us with dread.
mother children wells
Everyone always talks about how well mothers know their children. No one ever seems to notice how well children know their mothers.
mother home bye
You [meaning mothers] said good-bye a little every day -- from the minute they left your body until they left your home.
moving taken sleep
There have been plenty of chances to close my eyes and go back to the sleep of my life as it was, but I hadn't taken any of them. Do I wish now that I had? It's hard to answer that question, as the wraiths move closer.
denial heritage my-family
Denial: my family heritage. If you don't ask the questions, the truth will never inconvenience you.
family cutting names
You can cut the ties that bind but not without losing a part of yourself. You can walk away and hide from the people who made you, but you'll always hear them calling your name.
envy seems naive
The woman I was seems hopelessly naive. I envy her.
damage-is-done often-is violence
The worst violence we can do to each other often is psychological, especially in families. I dwell a lot on domestic danger. Thats the backdrop of most of my novels - what kind of damage is done without ever lifting a finger.
believe character people
I definitely feel that plot flows from character. I dont believe that you can construct a plot and insert people into it.
interesting today died
Today something interesting happened. I died.
arrogance overcoming rage
Even if someone is overcome with rage, it takes amazing arrogance to kill.
passion easy young
When you're young it's easy to confuse passion for love.
psychiatrist ifs
If I weren't a writer, I'd be a psychiatrist.
