"His words were almost soundless. 'I've gotten to a really dark place, Melly. The darkest place I've ever been.'You don't have to be there anymore, ' she told him gently. 'Don't you know what happens at the darkest point of the day?'He stroked her soft lower lip with the ball of one thumb. 'What?'She rubbed her fingers soothingly along his muscled forearms. 'A beautiful, brand - new day begins, and it's all fresh and full of promise.' She smiled into his gaze. 'That's why magic in the fairy tales happens at midnight, you know. When you reach that point, you have the power to change everything."

"Put away these frozenjawed primates and their annals of ways beset and ultimate dark. What deity in the realms of dementia, what rabid god decocted out of the smoking lobes of hydrophobia could have devised a keeping place for souls so poor as is this flesh. This gawky wormbent tabernacle."

"There are different kinds of darkness, Rhys said. I kept my eyes shut. "There is the darkness that frightens, the darkness that soothes, the darkness that is restful. I pictured each.

"I have trusted to my intuition to find the subjects, and I have written intuitively. I have an idea when I start, I have a shape; but I will fully understand what I have written only after some years."
Creativity
"Each book, intuitively sensed and, in the case of fiction, intuitively worked out, stands on what has gone before, and grows out of it. I feel that at any stage of my literary career it could have been said that the last book contained all the others."
Career
"The world is what it is; men who are nothing, who allow themselves to become nothing, have no place in it."

"One always writes comedy at the moment of deepest hysteria."
Comedy
"We made no inquiries about India or about the families people had left behind. When our ways of thinking had changed, and we wished to know, it was too late. I know nothing of the people on my father's side; I know only that some of them came from Nepal."
Family
"The reason is that they define how I have gone about my business. I have trusted to intuition. I did it at the beginning. I do it even now. I have no idea how things might turn out, where in my writing I might go next."
Business
"I came to London. It had become the center of my world and I had worked hard to come to it. And I was lost."
