"A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears."
"Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense."
"It takes a lot of time to be a genius. You have to sit around so much, doing nothing, really doing nothing."
"You will write if you will write without thinking of the result in terms of a result, but think of the writing in terms of discovery, which is to say that creation must take place between the pen and the paper, not before in a thought or afterwards in a recasting... It will come if it is there and if you will let it come."
