wherever the TV glows, there sits someone who isn't reading.

I've always been a fan of the 19th century novel, of the novel that is plotted, character-driven, and where the passage of time is almost as central to the novel as a major minor character, the passage of time and its effect on the characters in the story.

If you presume to love something, you must love the process of it much more than you love the finished product.

Newspapers are even worse for me than ice cream; headlines, and the big issues that generate the headlines, are pure fat.

I've always been slow but I'm even slower now. I'm more into the waiting, or I guess I'm more patient about the waiting.

The more clearly one sees this world; the more one is obliged to pretend it does not exist.
