I've Never Written Anything That

I Love The Description Of Gothic Churches Before The Printed Word, That They Were The Bibles Of The Poor.

I Think That Each Of Us Inhabits A Private World That Others Cannot See. The Only Difference Between The Writer And The Reader Is That The Writer Is Able To Dramatise That Private World.

Without The Book Business It Would Be Difficult Or Impossible For True Books To Find Their True Readers And Without That Solitary (and Potentially Subversive) Alone With A Book The Whole Razzmatazz Of Prizes, Banquets, Television Spectaculars, Bestseller Lists, Even Literature Courses, Editors And Authors, Are All Worthless. Unless A Book Finds Lovers Among Those Solitary Readers, It Will Not Live . . . Or Live For Long.

Nothing Ever Holds Together Unless It Is Mixed With Some Of One's Own Blood

I Think There's A Great Difference In Consciousness In That Same Way In That When We're Young We Read Books For The Story, For The Excitement Of The Story - And There Comes A Time When You Realise That All Stories Are More Or Less The Same Story.
