I love my friends and family, but I also love it when they can't find me and I can spend all day reading or walking all alone, in silence, eight thousand miles away from everyone. All alone and unreachable in a foreign country is one my most favorite possible things to be.
I believe that my whole creative life stemmed from this magic hour under the stars on that hilltop.
In the sick room, ten cents' worth of human understanding equals ten dollars' worth of medical science.
