If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.

The ability to see the future can be a burden, and the younger you are and the more isolated you feel, maybe the more of a burden it is.

I thought some of the stories were neat; I liked some of the liturgy and some of the songs. If you're a writer you have some inclination to pay attention. I didn't just tune it out and think about baseball. So, it had an effect on me.

I have a very poor record at multiple choice questions.

Writing a novel is actually searching for victims. As I write I keep looking for casualties. The stories uncover the casualties.

If you can't love crudeness, how can you truly love mankind?

But I often think that so-called glamorous people are just very busy people.
