Never Believe A Rumour Until

There's More Of Yourself In A Book Than A Play. That's Why We Know All About Dickens And Not Much About Shakespeare. Ben Jonson Murdered People; Marlowe Was A Spy; Shakespeare Just Sat In The Corner And Took Notes.

I Suppose That Writers Should, In A Way, Feel Flattered By The Censorship Laws. They Show A Primitive Fear And Dread At The Fearful Magic Of Print.

I Don't Think You Ever Feel A Success Really Because Everything Could Always Be Done Better Than You've Done It.

I Don't Believe In Children's Books. I Think After You've Read Kidnapped, Treasure Island, And Huckleberry Finn, You're Ready For Anything.

I'd Been Told Of All The Things You're Meant To Feel When Your Father Dies. Sudden Freedom, Growing Up, The End Of Dependence, The Step Into The Sunlight When No One Is Taller Than You And You're In No One's Shadow. I Know What I Felt. Lonely.
