You must live feverishly in a library. Colleges are not going to do any good unless you are raised and live in a library everyday of your life.

The minute you get a religion you stop thinking. Believe in one thing too much and you have no room for new ideas.

I just want someone to hear what I have to say. And maybe if I talk long enough, it’ll make sense.

I’m the thing you most desire, you represent the thing I least desire, death. It’s just the opposite of love.

But you can't make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. It can't last.

When I started writing seriously, I made the major discovery of my life - that I am right and everybody else is wrong if they disagree with me. What a great thing to learn: Don't listen to anyone else, and always go your own way.
