People in my situation get to read about themselves whether they want to or not. It's generally wrong. Or oversimplified - which is sometimes useful.

I’m not sentimental about anything. Life flows by, and you flow with it or you don’t. Move on and move out.

That is sad until one recalls how many bad books the world may yet be spared because of the busyness of writers.

Write something, even if it's just a suicide note.

History is idle gossip about a happening whose truth is lost the instant it has taken place.

I was born a writer. When that happens, you have no choice in the matter.

If the splitter of hairs has a sharp enough knife, the fact of life itself can be chopped into nothing.
