The Establishment center ... has led us into the stupidest and cruelest war in all history. That war is a moral and political disaster -- a terrible cancer eating away at the soul of our nation.

Insist on yourself never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession... Do that which is assigned to you, and you cannot hope too much or dare too much.

And write what you love - don't feel pressured to write serious prose if what you like is to be funny.

Cassandra Clare

Reconozco el terror como la principal emoción, así que trato de aterrorizar al lector. Pero si me parece que no puedo aterrorizarle, voy a intentar horrorizarle, y si veo que no puedo horrorizarle, intentaré asquearle. Yo no soy orgulloso.
