"There was nothing else in the entire universe, nothing but the two of them together. Her curves, his angles. Her light, his darkness. Her softness, his exquisitely aching hardness. Male. Female."

"The instinct is not completely satisfied unless a man's whole being, mental quite as much as physical, enters into the relation. Those who have never known the deep intimacy and the intense companionship of happy mutual love have missed the best thing that life has to give; unconsciously, if not consciously, they feel this and the resulting disappointment inclines them towards envy, oppression, and cruelty."

I suppose the cleavage is the proper focus, but what I wanted to do was fasten my index finger and thumb at the bolts of your collarbone, push out, spreading the web of my hand until it caught against your throat. You asked me if I wanted to strangle you. No, I wanted to fit you—not just in the obvious ways but in so many indentations."

"When a writer doesn't show his face, he becomes a local symptom of God's famous reluctance to appear."
Literature
"That's the world out there, little green apples and infectious disease."
Perception
"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."
Creativity
"Writers in repressive societies are considered dangerous. That's why so many of them are in jail."
Society
"When I read obituaries I always note the age of the deceased. Automatically I relate this figure to my own age. Four years to go, I think. Nine more years. Two years and I'm dead. The power of numbers is never more evident than when we use them to speculate on the time of our dying."
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."
