I Have The Feeling Of This Completely

The Book Was At A Reasonably High Position On The New York Times... Before I Was In The Country. I Thought It Would Be An Interesting Experiment To See If My Presence Here Would Push It Up Or Down.

I Don't Really Like To Work With Literary Allusions Very Much. I Never Want To Be In A Position Where I'm Saying, "you've Got To Read A Lot Of Other Stuff" Or "you've Got To Have Had A Good Education In Literature To Fully Appreciate What I'm Doing."

But Then, I Suppose, When With The Benefit Of Hindsight One Begins To Search One's Past For Such 'turning Points', One Is Apt To Start Seeing Them Everywhere.

You Need To Remember That. If You’re To Have Decent Lives, You Have To Know Who You Are And What Lies Ahead Of You, Every One Of You.

To See The Best Before I Have Properly Begun Would Be Somewhat Premature.
