“I kill my loneliness by reading and (then) writing, damn.”
“Easy reading is damn hard writing.”
“And I identify too closely with my reading, with my writing.”
“Somebody is observing my writings, I know that.That's one reason why I keep reading and writing.”
“It’s not that I want people to think I am smart, or even that I am a good writer. I write because I want to end my loneliness.”
“I want to write my own eulogy, and I want to write it in Latin. It seems only fitting to read a dead language at my funeral.”
