But I Don't Want More

A Man Does What He Can; A Woman Does What A Man Cannot.

I Don't Think Of Literature As An End In Itself. It's Just A Way Of Communicating Something.

I Was Such A Sullen, Angry, Sad Kid. I'm Sure There Are Writers Who Have Had Happy Childhoods, But What Are You Going To Write About? No Ghosts, No Fear. I'm Very Happy That I Had An Unhappy And Uncomfortable Childhood.
