Quotes

• “We are lonesome animals. We spend all our life trying to be less lonesome. One of our ancient methods is to tell a story begging the listener to say — and to feel — "Yes, that’s the way it is, or at least that’s the way I feel it. You’re not as alone as you thought."”
• “The discipline of the written word punishes both stupidity and dishonesty.”
• “Out of a thousand centuries they drew the ancient admiration of the footman for the horseman. They knew instinctively that a man on a horse is spiritually as well as physically bigger than a man on foot.”
• “In every bit of honest writing in the world ... there is a base theme. Try to understand men, if you understand each other you will be kind to each other. Knowing a man well never leads to hate and nearly always leads to love. There are shorter means, many of them. There is writing promoting social change, writing punishing injustice, writing in celebration of heroism, but always that base theme. Try to understand each other.”
• “It is a nice thing to be working and believing in my work again. I hope I can keep the drive. I only feel whole and well when it is this way.”
• “For the first time I am working on a book that is not limited and that will take every bit of experience and thought and feeling that I have.”
