"lovers Like Us, Because They Know That Nothing Can Destroy Their Love, Even On The Worst Days, Even When They Are Heedlessly Hurting Each Other In The Cruelest , Most Deceitful Ways, Still Carry In Their Hearts A Consolation That Never Abandons Them."

I Am A Highly Disciplined Person. I Get Up At Seven Every Morning And, Still In My Pajamas, Sit Down At My Desk Where My Checkered Ring Binders And My Fountain Pen Are Ready For Use. I Try To Write Two Pages Every Day.
