“Read what I write, and like what you read.”

“I write to understand myself,To comprehend myself,For how deeply I am in love with you.I write to express myself,To communicate myself,For what I have felt in love with you.I write to see myself,To realize myself,For how pure I have become in your love.I write to prove myself,To testify myself,For how much mad I am in love with you.I write to show myself,To confirm myself,For how I became enlightened in your love.I write to enchant myself,To enthral myself,For how much joyous I am in your love.I write to console myself,To solace myself,For a chance in a hope that you may read.”

“Take each day in your open palms and close your fists around it. This life is not done with you yet.”

“Life is so beautiful and so short that anything that makes me feel less than too much is nothing at all.”

“Camomille: Fallible men write books. God writes in sunlight and rivers and planets. Isn’t the Universe a good book? I trust it above the printed kind.”

“There are no lungs like the ones that breathe poetry.”

“I am in awe of flowers. Not because of their colors, but because even though they have dirt in their roots, they still grow. They still bloom.”

“Good writing is remembering detail. Most people want to forget. Don’t forget things that were painful or embarrassing or silly. Turn them into a story that tells the truth.”

“Being a ‘Raw Writer’ means that I write from the heart with emotions on my mind, and not grammar in my heart.”

“I choose to write because it’s perfect for me. It’s an escape, a place I can go to hide. It’s a friend, when I feel out casted from everyone else. It’s a journal, when the only story I can tell is my own. It’s a book, when I need to be somewhere else. It’s control, when I feel so out of control. It’s healing, when everything seems pretty messed up.And it’s fun, when life is just flat-out boring.”

“I only want to write. And there’s no college for that except life.”

“I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger.”
