We rely too much on the people we share our lives with. We hold them responsible for things they are not even aware of. We start blaming them.

To read is to cover one's face. And to write is to show it.

You can say that literature is about topics like love, death, and all that, but I think there is only one topic that applies to all literature and that is belonging.

If you write, and you are really alone (writing is a lonely thing), you learn to be alone without suffering. When you read, you also learn to do this. When you write, you deal with things.

I was going to be a memory when I grew up.

I knew little, but at least I knew that: no one could speak for someone else. That although we might want to tell other people's stories, we always end up telling our own.

I am still trying to find out things. And I inevitably tell myself the story in different ways every time I think about it.

You're looking for something, I don't know what I'm looking for, but I'm looking. Writing is a lot about that. When you write a poem. When you write a novel.

Everything has been said and everything has been done, but you still feel like you are looking for something.

For me, writing is a way of finding out about things I didn't know before I began writing.

When you read a novel, you know what to expect because you've been reading novels for a long time.

Science flies you to the moon. Religion flies you into buildings.

The change of language is a change in reality.

Please don't waste-away in front of a TV waiting to win a lottery during the precious few hours you are not imprisoned in corporate shackles.

Every moment of this strange and lovely life from dawn to dusk, is a miracle. Somewhere, always a rose is opening its petals to the dawn. Somewhere, always, a flower is fading in the dusk.

The past is gone-the future is not come. And we are here together, you and I.

You love him so much it feels like you can't go on without him. You feel like you might die without him.

You're more likely to vote Democratic if you hate Republicans than if you love Democrats, and vice versa.

Bitcoin might revolutionise more than money or economics. It could transform the role and nature of government

It is a gratification to me to know that I am ignorant of art... Because people who understand art find nothing in pictures but blemishes.

The night sky is only a sort of carbon paper, Blueblack, with the much-poked periods of stars Letting in the light, peephole after peephole--- A bonewhite light, like death, behind all things.
