We lie best when we lie to ourselves. - Stephen King

I'm one of those people who doesn't really know what he thinks until he writes it down.

You want to remember that while you're judging the book, the book is also judging you.

Hug and kiss whoever helped get you - financially, mentally, morally, emotionally - to this day. Parents, mentors, friends, teachers. If you're too uptight to do that, at least do the old handshake thing, but I recommend a hug and a kiss. Don't let the sun go down without saying thank you to someone, and without admitting to yourself that absolutely no one gets this far alone.
