writing conflict dramatic
The greatest rules of dramatic writing are conflict, conflict, conflict.
accepting million-little-pieces
Let things be, let yourself be, let everything be and accept it as it is. Nothing more. Nothing less.
faces disappear stay-with-me
Its not just a smile of momentary happiness. When it disappears from my face, it will stay with me.
book writing cities
I always wanted to write a book about LA, a big ambitious book. Nobody had ever really done it with LA- treating the city seriously as a major economic and cultural power, as the embodiment of 21st century America.
tired people lasts
I'm tired of making people sad and I'm tired of disappointing them and I'm tired of seeing them break. I have seen this too many times. He will be the last.
silly feet keys
I felt like I had lost something. But not something silly, like my keys or my gum; more like my arm or my foot, something that really mattered. Like something that I could live without, but would make life much harder if it were missing. And life is hard enough. Life is hard enough with everything we're given.
eye mean kissing
We stare into each other's eyes and softly kiss speaking and saying more with the movement of our lips and the tips of our fingers than words will allow us to say. Words can't say this. The one word love means too little for what it is. It means everything and that is still not enough. It doesn't communicate even a fraction of the feelings involved. Love. The word is not enough for what it is. Love. Love.
world force said
Fear, he said, ran all of our lives. Fear, he said, after religion, was the most destructive force in the world.
son thinking laughing
Leonard asks me if there's anything I need to know before he dies, I think about it for a minute, turn to him, say what's the meaning of life, Leonard? He laughs, says that's an easy one, my son, it's whatever you want it to be.
morning children laughter
There is no such things as God's word on earth. Or if there is it is not to be found in books. -Then where is it to be found?- In love. In the laughter of children. In a gift given. In a life saved. In the quiet of morning. In the dead of night. In the sound of the ocean, or the sound of a car. It can be found in anything, anywhere. It is the fabric of our lives, our feelings, the people we live with, things we know to be real.
book writing thinking
I'm writing books. They're still a mix of fact and fiction and will continue to be. I think it's an interesting place to work.
judging live-and-let-live okay
Live and let live, do not judge, take life as it comes and deal with it, everything will be okay.
strong men thinking
I think men who can cry are strong men
memories color giving
I, however, like black. It is a color that makes me comfortable and the color with which I have the most experience. In the darkest darkness, all is black. In the deepest hole, all is black. In the terror of my Addicted mind, all is black. In the empty periods of my lost memory, all is black. I like black, goddammit, and I am going to give it its due.
