We who are quotatious are never truly alone, but always hear the cheerful flow of remarks made by dead writers so much more intelligent than we.

We use books like mirrors, gazing into them only to discover ourselves.

I know from the middle distance I give off the look of being prolific, which is a funny compliment to receive.

Always seek the general and never quite trust it.

For me writing is foremost a mode of thinking and when it works well, an act of discovery

We who are quotatious are never truly alone, but always hear the cheerful flow of remarks made by dead writers so much more intelligent than we.
