When I'm writing I don't dream much; it's like the dreaming gets used in the writing.

The artist deals with what cannot be said in words.
The artist whose medium is fiction does this in words. The novelist says in words what cannot be said in words.

The use of imaginative fiction is to deepen your understanding of your world, and your fellow men, and your own feelings, and your destiny.

Yes. There's really only one question that can be answered, Genry, and we already know the answer....The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty: not knowing what comes next.

This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.

And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern. You need distance, interval. The way to see how beautiful the earth is, is to see it as the moon. The way to see how beautiful life is, is from the vantage point of death.

A man wants his virility regarded. A woman wants her femininity appreciated, however indirect and subtle the indications of regard and appreciation. [Here] one is respected and judged only as a human being. It is an appalling experience.

Hardly anybody ever writes anything nice about introverts. Extroverts rule. This is rather odd when you realise that about nineteen writers out of twenty are introverts. We are been taught to be ashamed of not being 'outgoing'. But a writer's job is ingoing.

I never knew anybody . . . who found life simple. I think a life or a time looks simple when you leave out the details.

To oppose something is to maintain it... You must go somewhere else; you must have another goal; then you walk a different road.

It's a rare gift, to know where you need to be, before you've been to all the places you don't need to be.

I certainly wasn't happy. Happiness has to do with reason, and only reason earns it. What I was given was the thing you can't earn, and can't keep, and often don't even recognize at the time; I mean joy.

If one believes that words are acts, as I do, then one must hold writers responsible for what their words do.

Like all walls it was ambiguous, two faced. What was inside it and what was outside it depended upon which side you were on.

This was the way he had to go; he had no choice. He had never had any choice. He was only a dreamer.

If you evade suffering you also evade the chance of joy. Pleasure you may get, or pleasures, but you will not be fulfilled. You will not know what it is to come home.

Children know perfectly well that unicorns aren't real, but they also know that books about unicorns, if they are good books, are true books.

I can never get used to the fact, though I know it, that women are born cynics. Men have to learn cynicism. Infant girls could teach it to them.

You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.
