Writing is talking to yourself-with the hope of being overheard.

Writing is a way of opening up to the world.

Writing is a lot easier if you don't care about reality.

Writing is like life: it goes on.

What we write is fiction; what we experience, truth.

I had rather be remembered for some kind act I performed than for having written fifty books.

The true writers never run out of things to say. What they run out of (sometimes) is the desire to say them.

Suppose you stop writing, painting, believing in God, whatever you obsession is. Wouldn't you survive? Wouldn't you find something else?

There is more to life than playing with words.
