• The search for the purpose of life has puzzled people for thousands of years. That’s because we typically begin at the wrong starting point—ourselves. We ask self-centered questions like What do I want to be? What should I do with my life? What are my goals, my ambitions, my dreams for my future? But focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life’s purpose.

Since then, sometimes when we drove out in the hills, Denys had said: "Let us drive as far as our graves.

• But whats it all worth, cant take it when you under this earth
  Rich men died and tried, but none of it worked
  They just rob your grave, Id rather be alive and paid

  Somell fall, but I rise, thug or die
  Makin choices, that determine my future under the sky
  To rob steal or kill, Im wondering why
  Its a dirty game, is any man worthy of fame?
  Much to success to ya, even if you wish me the opposite
  Sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is.

• The only good grades I ever got in school before I was kicked out were for creative writing. I thought that fiction might be in my future but then my career took a different path once the Beatles showed me what a blast being in a band could be. Writing my memoir Late, Late at Night reminded me how much I love the craft. So I decided to give fiction a shot again.Magnificent Vibration is the result. I’m still not quite sure where it came from, but once I got going, it practically wrote itself. I’ve heard writers I admire speak of that phenomenon, so maybe I’m on the right track.

• I stared at the creased map on my wall, the thin green line connecting all the places I had read about. There they were, all the cities of my imaginary future, held together with tape and marker and pins. In six months, a lot had changed. There was no thin green line that could lead me to my future anymore. Just a girl.
