Rid The Mind Of Knowledge When Looking

The Purpose Of Writing Is To Make Your Mother And Father Drop Dead With Shame.

I Remember One Letter From A Girl In A Midwestern Town Who Read One Of My Books And Thought She Had Discovered It- That No One Had Ever Read It Or Knew About It. Then One Day In Her Local Library She Found Cards For One Or Two Of My Other Books. They Were Full Of Names- The Books Were Borrowed All The Time. She Resented This A Bit And Then Walked Around The Town Looking In Everybody's Face And Wondering If They Were The Ones Who Were Reading My Books. That Is Someone I Write For.

On Being Old. It's Not Nice But Take Comfort That You Won't Stay That Way For Ever.

Electronic Books Are A Bad Thing Because They Cannot Be Accumulated On Shelves To Remind You Of Your Past, To Impress Your Neighbors And Colleagues, And To Help Prevent Divorces Thanks To The Sheer Bother Of Arguing Over Who Owns What.

I'm Starved For Love. Not Ordinary Love But Real Love. The Love That's Like Music Or Something.
