"When a writer doesn't show his face, he becomes a local symptom of God's famous reluctance to appear."

"I've always seen myself in sentences. I begin to recognize myself, word by word, as I work through a sentence."
Work
"It was only after two years' work that it occurred to me that I was a writer. I had no particular expectation that the novel would ever be published, because it was sort of a mess. It was only when I found myself writing things I didn't realise I knew that I said, 'I'm a writer now.' The novel had become an incentive to deeper thinking. That's really what writing is-an intense form of thought."

Society

Mortality
"Hardship makes the world obscure."
Hardship
"How I would enjoy being told the novel is dead. How liberating to work in the margins, outside a central perception. You are the ghoul of literature."
Literature
"I slept for four years. I didn't study much of anything. I majored in something called communication arts."
Communication
"We feel a private thrill, admit it, at the sight of beauty in flames. We wish to blast all the fine old things to oblivion and replace them with tasteless identicalstructures."
Observation
"I'm completely aware of Matisse and what he said, that painters must begin by cutting out their tongues."
