“There is a reason why all things are as they are.”

“Time changes all things; there is no reason why language should escape this universal law”

“There are many reasons why novelists write but they all have one thing in common a need to create an alternative world.”

“there is no reason why anyone should understand how it works… and of course no reason why anyone should care … unless you are curious, in which case I love you, for curiosity about the world and all its corners is a beautiful thing.”

“Why be puzzled by that? From things that have happened and from things as they exist and from all things that you know and all those you cannot know, you make something through your invention that is not a representation but a whole new thing truer than anything true and alive, and you make it alive, and if you make it well enough, you give it immortality. That is why you write and for no other reason that you know of. But what about all the reasons that no one knows?”

“Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.”
