I Read A Book One Day And

...the Endless Repetition Of An Ordinary Miracle.

The Entire World Was Like A Palace With Countless Rooms Whose Doors Opened Into One Another. We Were Able To Pass From One Room To The Next Only By Exercising Our Memories And Imaginations, But Most Of Us, In Our Laziness, Rarely Exercised These Capacities, And Forever Remained In The Same Room.

Books, Which We Mistake For Consolation, Only Add Depth To Our Sorrow.

Novels Are Political Not Because Writers Carry Party Cards -- Some Do, I Do Not -- But Because Good Fiction Is About Identifying With And Understanding People Who Are Not Necessarily Like Us. By Nature All Good Novels Are Political Because Identifying With The Other Is Political. At The Heart Of The 'art Of The Novel' Lies The Human Capacity To See The World Through Others' Eyes. Compassion Is The Greatest Strength Of The Novelist.

Life Is Short, And We Should Respect Every Moment Of It.
