The question is not whether or not we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be. Will we be extremists for hate or for love?

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

‘I don’t want to talk as much,’ she said, denting her chin thoughtfully with her forefinger. ‘It’s nicer to think dear, pretty thoughts and keep them in one’s heart, like treasures. I don’t like to have them laughed at or wondered over.’

- L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables 

This guy’s walking down a street when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep, he can’t get out. A doctor passes by, and the guy shouts up, ‘Hey you, can you help me out?’ The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a priest comes along, and the guy shouts up, ‘Father, I’m down in this hole, can you help me out?’ The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on. Then a friend walks by. ‘Hey Joe, it’s me, can you help me out?’ And the friend jumps in the hole. Our guy says, ‘Are you stupid? Now we’re both down here.’ The friend says, ‘Yeah, but I’ve been down here before, and I know the way out.’

At the time, sword and sorcery stories were quite popular. There were female warriors waving swords around as well. But the genre is populated entirely with people who have absolutely no responsibility to anyone, so I knew my story would have to be completely different from any of these.

The concept of portraying evil and then destroying it — I know this is considered mainstream, but I think it is rotten. This idea that whenever something evil happens someone particular can be blamed and punished for it, in life and in politics, is hopeless.

Apparently people hated to go for walks with him because he would stop and look at every tree for like 20 minutes.

Our greatest want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.

"I'd like to add some beauty to life. I'd love to make people have a pleasanter time because of me... to have some little joy or happy thought that would never have existed if I hadn't been born."
