I Profoundly Feel That People

A Businessman Is Someone Who Buys At Ten And Is Happy To Get Out At Twelve. The Other Kind Of Man Buys At Ten, Sees It Rise To Eighteen And Does Nothing. He Is Waiting For It To Rise To Twenty. When It Drops To Two He Waits For It To Get Back To Ten.

I Am The Kind Of Writer That People Think Other People Are Reading.

Making A Book Is Such A Big Enterprise.

The Writer Is All Alone.

I Wish My Prose To Be Transparent—i Don't Want The Reader To Stumble Over Me; I Want Him To Look Through What I'm Saying To What I'm Describing. I Don't Want Him Ever To Say, Oh, Goodness, How Nicely Written This Is. That Would Be A Failure.
