“I love books because they are easier than people.”
“It's much easier to write a solemn book than a funny book. It's harder to make people laugh than it is to make them cry. People are always on the verge of tears.”
“Of course I loved books more than people.”
“I was used to sleeping with people because I endlessly found myself in identical situations where it was easier to just fuck them than to say no.”
“But hell, I do like to write letters. Much easier than writing books.”
“It is easier to write a book with footnotes than the same book written so that children can understand it.”
