I am not the richest person, but I am the happiest person.

I'm not so interested in how things look as in what they mean.

I'm a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can't, and then tries the short story, which is the most demanding form after poetry. And, failing at that, only then does he take up novel writing.

The past is a kind of shadow which is always there, whether you choose to ignore it or not.
