Charisma

“You don’t have to test everything to destruction just to see if you make it right.”
― Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett

“If you've got nothing to dance about, find a reason to sing.”
― Melody Carstairs

“Writers remember everything...especially the hurts. Strip a writer to the buff, point to the scars, and he'll tell you the story of each small one. From the big ones you get novels. A little talent is a nice thing to have if you want to be a writer, but the only real requirement is the ability to remember the story of every scar.
Art consists of the persistence of memory.”
― Stephen King, Misery

“Ghosts don't haunt us. That's not how it works. They're present among us because we won't let go of them.”
― Sue Grafton, M is for Malice
