My favorite short-story writer is John Cheever
I don't think that the writer is regarded as a freak by Americans
No writer need feel sorry for himself if he writes and enjoys it, even if he doesn't get paid.
Critics in New York are made by their dislikes, not by their enthusiasms.
The great writers just kept bringing them out. They didn't care if they repeated themselves.
There are too many books I haven’t read, too many places I haven’t seen, too many memories I haven’t kept long enough.
