Sleep is all about recovering. So if you’re not sleeping, you’re not recovering. And if you’re going to break your body down a lot, you better find ways to build it back up. And the only way to do that is get a lot of sleep. So for me, I go to bed at like 8:30, 9:00. As soon as I put my kids to bed. Because I’m up at 5:30 the next day.

Don’t be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.

Youth is to all the glad season of life; but often only by what it hopes, not by what it attains, or what it escapes.

I live in a crazy time.

Nothing on this earth is standing still. It’s either growing or it’s dying. No matter if it’s a tree or a human being.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

As far as I’m concerned, I’m a writer who’s writing books, and therefore, I don’t want to die. You’d miss the end of the book wouldn’t you? You can’t die with an unfinished book.

What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.
