Quotes

• “The novel remains for me one of the few forms where we can record man’s complexity and the strength and decency of his longings. Where we can describe, step by step, minute by minute, our not altogether unpleasant struggle to put ourselves into a viable and devout relationship to our beloved and mistaken world.”
• “He was a tall man with an astonishing and somehow elegant curvature of the spine, formed by an enlarged lower abdomen, which he carried in a stately and contented way, as if it contained money and securities.”
• “Homesickness is nothing … Fifty percent of the people in the world are homesick all the time.”
• “Art is the triumph over chaos.”
• “I can’t write without a reader. It’s precisely like a kiss—you can’t do it alone.”
• “The need to write comes from the need to make sense of one’s life and discover one’s usefulness.”
