Quotes

• “Have you seen a room from which faith has gone?...Like a marriage from which love has gone...And patience, patience everywhere like a fog.”
• “The economy of a novelist is a little like that of a careful housewife who is unwilling to throw away anything that might perhaps serve its turn. Perhaps the comparison is closer to the Chinese cook who leaves hardly any part of a duck unserved.”
• “It is the story-teller's task to elicit sympathy and a measure of understanding for those who lie outside the boundaries of State approval.”
• “Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.”
• “My two fingers on a typewriter have never connected with my brain. My hand on a pen does. A fountain pen, of course. Ball-point pens are only good for filling out forms on a plane.”
• “Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, the melancholia, the panic fear which is inherent in the human condition.”
