Only in the present do things happen.

A writer's work is the product of laziness.

Reality is not always probable, or likely.

Time forks perpetually toward innumerable futures.

What I'm really concerned about is reaching one person. And that person may be myself for all I know.

A writer - and, I believe, generally all persons - must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource.

I am interested in the past. Perhaps one of the reasons is we cannot make, cannot change the past. I mean you can hardly unmake the present. But the past after all is merely to say a memory, a dream. You know my own past seems continually changed when I am remembering it, or reading things that are interesting to me.
