Our misery comes, not from work, but by our getting attached to something.

Augusten BurroughsA person who lives moment to moment, who goes on dying to the past, is never attached to anything. Attachment comes from the accumulated past.

You are immortal, only unaware of the fact.

You know, you can't seek to do that. You have to tell stories that you're interested in talking about and characters that intrigue you.

DogenIt's part of a writer's profession, as it's part of a spy's profession, to prey on the community to which he's attached, to take away information - often in secret - and to translate that into intelligence for his masters, whether it's his readership or his spy masters. And I think that both professions are perhaps rather lonely.
