Whenever Citizens Are Seen Routinely As Enemies

If You Feel A Bump On Page One Hundred, It May Be You Went Off On Page Fifty.

Whenever Citizens Are Seen Routinely As Enemies Of Their Own Government, Writers Are Rountinely Seen To Be The Most Dangerous Enemies.

Planning To Write Is Not Writing. Outlining, Researching, Talking To People About What You're Doing - None Of That Is Writing. Writing Is Writing. Writing Is Like Driving At Night In The Fog. You Can Only See As Far As Your Headlights, But You Can Make The Whole Trip That Way.

Facts Are The Images Of History, Just As Images Are The Facts Of Fiction.

A Novel Is A Printed Circuit Through Which Flows The Force Of A Reader's Own Life.
