It is only by putting it into words that I make it whole …It is the rapture I get when in writing I seem to be discovering what belongs to what; making a scene come right; making a character come together. From this I reach what I might call a philosophy; … that behind the cotton wool is hidden a pattern; that we – I mean all human beings – are connected with this … I feel that when I am writing I am doing what is far more necessary than anything else.
