• Ask creative people where they get their ideas, and they will roll their eyes. It's the most common question, but it's also a bad one because the answer is inevitably disappointing.

• Por mucho que a Dios le plazca bendecirte, habrá momentos en los que todo lo que intentes se convierta en humo. Habrá momentos en los que la persona con la que más contabas se aleje y te deje a tientas entre lágrimas cegadoras y lamentosas preguntas de por qué. Los planes y los objetivos pueden verse truncados en los momentos más decepcionantes, dejándote aprendiendo el arte de la paciencia y la aceptación de una petición denegada.

• Empezamos con grandes esperanzas, luego nos embotellamos. Nos damos cuenta de que todos vamos a morir, sin descubrir realmente las grandes respuestas. Desarrollamos todas esas largas ideas que sólo interpretan la realidad de nuestras vidas de diferentes maneras, sin ampliar realmente nuestro cuerpo de conocimientos valiosos, sobre las grandes cosas, las cosas reales. Básicamente, vivimos una vida corta y decepcionante; y luego morimos. Llenamos nuestras vidas de mierda, cosas como carreras y relaciones para engañarnos a nosotros mismos de que no todo es totalmente inútil.

• Cuanto más escribo, más me doy cuenta de que los libros ocupan un lugar diferente en nuestra sociedad que otros medios de comunicación. Los libros son diferentes de la televisión o el cine porque te piden que termines el proyecto. Para leer un libro hay que participar activamente. Es más como un plano. Lo que realmente es, es una oportunidad... Un libro es un lugar donde te obligan a usar tu imaginación. Me parece decepcionante que no se te pida que imagines más.

• I realized I was going to get through this disappointing service, and anyway, you have to be somewhere: better here, where I have heard truth spoken so often, than, say, at the DMV, or home alone, orbiting my own mind. And it's good to be out where others can see you, so you can't be your ghastly spoiled self. It forces you to act slightly more elegantly, and this improves your thoughts, and thereby the world.
