"Writing is like sex. First you do it for love, then you do it for your friends, and then you do it for money."
"Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends."
"Second hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack."
"Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others."
"Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible."
