A plot is like the bones of a person, not interesting like expression, or signs of experience, but the support of the whole.

It is better to be drunk with loss and to beat the ground, than to let the deeper things gradually escape.

Magnifying a matter is not the way to mend it.

If I were not a child with my parents, they would be more unloving toward me.

The plot is not very important to me, though a novel must have one, of course. It's just a line to hang the washing on.

To young people the future is still long.

Well, of course, people are only human... But it really does not seem much for them to be.
