O foolish writer. Now moves. Even in storytime, dreamtime, once-upon-a-time, now isn't then.

I think there is no way to write about being alone. To write is to tell something to somebody to communicate to others. . . . Solitude is noncommunication, the absence of others, the presence of a self sufficient to itself.

When people say, Did you always want to be a writer?, I have to say no! I always WAS a writer.

Children know perfectly well that unicorns aren’t real, but they also know that books about unicorns, if they are good books, are true books.

I don't write tracts, I write novels. I'm not a preacher, I'm a fiction writer.

I think hard times are coming. We will need writers who can remember freedom. Poets, visionaries, the realists of a larger reality.

To hear, one must be silent.
