I think it is vanity to want to put into a story anything but the story itself.

For me the thing that signals a great story is what we might call its autonomy, the fact that it detaches itself from its author like a soap bubble blown from a clay pipe.

Once in a while it happens that I vomit up a bunny... it's not reason for one to blush and isolate oneself and to walk around keeping one's mouth shut.

Come sleep with me: We won't make Love,Love will make us.

I think it is vanity to want to put into a story anything but the story itself.

Happy was she who could believe without seeing, who was at one with the duration and continuity of life.

She would smile and show no surprise, convinced as she was, the same as I, that casual meetings are apt to be just the opposite, and that people who make dates are the same kind who need lines on their writing paper, or who always squeeze up from the bottom on a tube of toothpaste.
