I would say that the money that was invested in me by Warwickshire Education Authority, which they did for five years, has been repaid a hundred times over.

If I fulfill YOUR expectations, how am I going to transform you? I have to DESTROY your expectations. I have to destroy the very mind that creates those expectations. If you come to me, never come with expectations, otherwise you will be disappointed - because I have no obligation to fulfill your expectations in any way. In fact, if I see that there are some expectations, I do things DELIBERATELY to destroy those expectations. That is the price you have to pay to be with me.

Only love and death change all things."

We came to the decision, after thinking really creatively, that if he got a job on a cruise ship, he would fulfill those goals.
I always try, if I can, to travel before I start a writing project. For me, travelling is my education. It inspires me, and it clears my mind and allows me to come back with a cleansed palate.
