There Is No Creation Without Tradition. No

For Me, Life Without Literature Is Inconceivable. I Think That Don Quixote In A Physical Sense Never Existed, But Don Quixote Exists More Than Anybody Who Existed In 1605. Much More. There's Nobody Who Can Compete With Don Quixote Or With Hamlet. So In The End We Have The Reality Of The Book As The Reality Of The World And The Reality Of History.

There Are People Whose External Reality Is Generous Because It Is Transparent, Because You Can Read Everything, Accept Everything, Understand Everything About Them: People Who Carry Their Own Sun With Them.

I Live Through Risk. Without Risk There Is No Art. You Should Always Be On The Edge Of A Cliff About To Fall Down And Break Your Neck.

At 50 I Find There Is A Long Line Of Characters And Shapes Demanding Words Just Outside My Window.

You Start By Writing To Live. You End By Writing So As Not To Die.
