Writing Is Like A Contact

In A Novel, It's Hard To Keep Track Of Everybody

The Romantic Idea Is That Everybody Around A Writer Must Suffer For His Talent. I Think A Writer Is A Citizen Of Humanity, Part Of His Nation, Part Of His Family. He May Have To Make Some Compromises.

Posterity Makes The Judgments. There Are Going To Be A Lot Of Surprises In Store For Everybody.

There Are Too Many Books I Haven’t Read, Too Many Places I Haven’t Seen, Too Many Memories I Haven’t Kept Long Enough.

If You're Young Enough, Any Kind Of Writing You Do For A Short Period Of Time Is A Marvelous Apprenticeship.
