Love, if you love me, lie next to me. Be for me, like rain, the getting out of the tiredness, the fatuousness, the semi- lust of intentional indifference. Be wet with a decent happiness.

Hopefully, I write what I don't know.

Writing is the same as music. It’s in how you phrase it, how you hold back the note, bend it, shape it, then release it. And what you don’t play is as important as what you do say.

What a great thing! To be a writer! Words are something you can carry in your head. You can really 'travel light.'

The pattern of the narrative never of necessity wants to end, it never has to.

I don’t think any man writing can worry about what the act of writing costs him, even though at times he is very aware of it.
