Power doesn't corrupt people; people corrupt power.

How some of the writers I come across get through their books without dying of boredom is beyond me.

We want someone to bring us the news.

There is nothing more distressing or tiresome than a writer standing in front of an audience and reading his work.

How real is any of the past, being every moment revalued to make the present possible.

Justice? You get justice in the next world, in this world you have the law.

Power doesn't corrupt people; people corrupt power.
