The smell of a freshly printed book is the best smell in the world.

I don't care if people I admire criticize me because their opinion is valuable to me.

But if I have a lot of imagination, I could tell myself whatever I wanted, you know. I handle myself quite well. I'm kind of fascist with myself, you know. There's no discussion. There is an order. You follow it.

With expensive fashion, the inside should be as perfect as the outside.

Books are a hard-bound drug with no danger of an overdose. I am the happy victim of books.

I am never satisfied with myself and that is what keeps me going - I have no post-satisfaction.

The middle has not enough class that I think about the middle class.
