Making a book is a craft, like making a clock; it needs more than native wit to be an author.

Most bad books get that way because their authors are engaged in trying to justify themselves. If a vain author is an alcoholic, then the most sympathetically portrayed character in his book will be an alcoholic. This sort of thing is very boring for outsiders.

No poet or novelist wishes he were the only one who ever lived, but most of them wish they were the only one alive, and quite a number fondly believe their wish has been granted.
~~~~~~~
Nobody has to be a writer. Print culture may be under siege, but there has been an enormous inflation in the number of books printed, and very few of these could be considered part of literature. … Unlike what has been said here before, for me the primary obligation is human solidarity.
~~~~~~~
Nothing contributes to the entertainment of the reader more, than the change of times and the vicissitudes of fortune.
~~~~~~~
