“I am not dangerous. Only the stories are dangerous. Only the fictions we create, especially when they become expectations.”
“(I) only write it now because I have grown to believe that there is no dangerous idea, which does not become less dangerous when written out in sincere and careful English. ("The Adoration of The Magi")”
“There are no dangerous weapons; there are only dangerous men.”
“The urge to create a fictional narrative is a mysterious one, and when an idea comes, the writer's sense of what a story wants to be is only vaguely visible through the penumbra of inspiration.”
“I am trying like Klee, to create something that will have a life of its own, that can put me in real danger, a danger which I willingly take on myself.”
“I am not an idiot. I know the dangers in what I am about to do, but it is the only way I can live with myself.” –Joseph Dahr.”
