Quotes

  • An inordinate love of ritual can be harmful to the soul, unless, of course, in times of great crisis, when ritual can protect the soul from fracture.
  • A fresh river in a beautiful meadow Imagined in his mind The good Painter, who would some day paint it
  • It is the nature of the writer to question the validity of his world and yet rely on his senses to describe it. From what other tension can great literature be born?
  • It closely resembles the situation that exists within a mental institution: in tight quarters, in similar garb, dissimilar minds attempt to build a consensus reality that, with a monumental effort of empathy, cannot—can never!—take concrete form.
  • I could not move or speak for several minutes, frozen in the belief that the book itself had changed and was now writing me.
  • When they give you things, ask yourself why. When you're grateful to them for giving you the things you should have anyway, ask yourself why.
