Writing Is Always A Voyage Of Discovery.

You Can't Change A Regime On The Basis Of Compassion. There's Got To Be Something Harder.

Perhaps The Best Way To Write Is To Do So As If One Were Already Dead, Afraid Of No One's Reactions, Answerable To No One's Views.

Nothing Fades So Quickly As What Is Unchanged.

I Have Failed At Many Things, But I Have Never Been Afraid.

I Believe - I Know (there Are Not Many Things I Should Care To Dogmatize About, On The Subject Of Writing) That Writers Need Solitude, And Seek Alienation Of A Kind Every Day Of Their Working Lives. (and Remember, They Are Not Even Aware When And When Not They Are Working.) ... The Tension Between Standing Apart And Being Fully Involved; That Is What Makes A Writer.
