“What you have learned from experience is worth much more than gold. If you have a house it may burn down. Any kind of possession can be lost, but your experience is yours forever. Keep it and find a way to use it.”

“I don’t think of myself as a writer. I’m troubled and stupid like everyone else. I grew up with the streets.
