Talking without speaking a single word.
Listening without a single sound heard.
Consciousness without being fully awake.
Sleeping as the only escape.
Smiling without an ounce of gladness.
Crying from all the overwhelming sadness.
Breathing without any fresh air.
Living without really being there.

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don't stay down. When in doubt, don't stop believing.

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."
