Grief loves the hollow; all it wants is to hear its own echo.

I wanted to wear her as you would a piece of clothing, to fold into her ribs, be a stone in her mouth.

The three things that help writing the most are living, writing, and reading. In that order.

When I first began writing In the Country of Men all I had was the voice of the protagonist. He intrigued me and my desire to want to know him and his world became almost compulsive.

I am of the firm opinion that no one should tell writers what to do, or what to write, or how to write.

Dreams have consequences. There is no turning back. A revolution is not a painless march to the gates of freedom and justice. It is a struggle between rage and hope, between the temptation to destroy and the desire to build. Its temperament is desperate. It is a tormented response to the past, to all that has happened, the recalled and unrecalled injustices - for the memory of a revolution reaches much further back than the memory of its protagonists.
