“Yes, writing comes easy for me and it's also a painful, arduous process. I love writing. I hate writing. I never want to write again, and I want to write all day, everyday.”

“Bernard of Clairvaux shared with Goethe and Balzac the art of charging narratives with his own charisma (and this is probably the only context in which those three names can be mentioned in one breath). On the surface self-representation was not the purpose of such narratives; they presented themselves as fiction or as commentaries on scripture.

The reader feels your presence, but sees someone or something else.”

“I collect travel alarm clocks. I was in a flea market in France once, in 1994, and I opened up this beautiful Jaeger-LeCoultre folding eight-day winding clock folded into a beautiful case, and I went, 'Wow, man.' And I've been collecting travel alarm clocks since 1994.”

And letters from home were not the same as a warm laugh or a cup of tea shared on a cold day.”

“You aren't ugly, my dear. Do not listen to anyone who would say so, even yourself.”

“Your wit never ceases to underwhelm me.”

“The world is merciless, and it's also very beautiful.”
