Quotes

  • "In the long run, what do we have but our memories?"
  • I wasn't an artist of any sort, but I thought I knew something about how artists' minds worked, and I didn't believe that to change an external situation had much to do with it. It was what they did with whatever was lying about that mattered.
  • It is courteous to respect a fellow-being's right to privacy by providing him with a room of his own; but it can be torture to make him feel that that room is where he is expected to be, out of one's way.
  • To be the only possessor of news that will interest many people is always to be in a powerful position.
  • [Swithinbank] had dreamed of this show, and here was the dream come true, because he had made it come. What had I ever dreamed of except to be tucked in under a warm blanket of safety? And what had I ever done to make even that true? Nothing.
  • I was beginning to see that my whole life had been a flight from the possibility of unearthing the sort of man I really was.
