I Went To India And Met Some

To This Day, If You Ask Me How I Became A Writer, I Cannot Give You An Answer. To This Day, If You Ask Me How A Book Is Written, I Cannot Answer. For Long Periods, If I Didn't Know That Somehow In The Past I Had Written A Book, I Would Have Given Up.

In The Beginning, Before The Arrival Of The White Men, I Had Considered Myself Neutral. I Had Wanted Neither Side To Win, Neither The Army Nor The Rebels. As It Turned Out, Both Sides Lost.

If You Write A Novel Alone You Sit And You Weave A Little Narrative. And It's O.k., But It's Of No Account.

I Am The Kind Of Writer That People Think Other People Are Reading.

Men Need History; It Helps Them To Have An Idea Of Who They Are. But History, Like Sanctity, Can Reside In The Heart; It Is Enough That There Is Something There.
