Deadlines just aren't real to me until I'm staring one in the face.

Suspecting and knowing are not the same.

If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.

So few people did good in their lives. It was depressing.

You assume that it has to be a male god who finds a human female attractive? How sexist is that?

Where's the glory in repeating what others have done?

Knowing too much of your future is never a good thing.

The real world is where the monsters are.

Names have power.

Humans see what they want to see.

Go on with what your heart tells you, or you will lose all.

Even strength must bow to wisdom sometimes.
