And that is why, whenever a reader goes to see a film based on a novel that he likes, he leaves feeling disappointed, saying: ‘the book is so much better than the film.”

“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles.

This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.”
