Daniel Defoe: "It is necessary for me to be alone a good deal of the time."

Never be bullied into silence. never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself.

The greatest love story you will ever write is the one between you and yourself.

There is nothing wrong with having a bad day, nothing at all. There is nothing wrong with putting your jammies on and staying in. The world will wait, the world will not combust because you can’t force a smile.
