“I'm solitary as a pulled tooth,Lonely as an unwelcome truth, Lost as a minnow out of school, A genius in a crop of fools.”
“The Truth is in the prolouge. Death to the romantic fool.,the expert in solitary confinement.”
“Only a man of genius can bare a solitary life.”
“Books are like mirrors: if a fool looks in, you cannot expect a genius to look out.”
“...you were a genius and a fool. A genius for what you were capable of doing and a fool for what you did.”
“Writing a novel is like making love, but it's also like having a tooth pulled. Pleasure and pain. Sometimes it's like making love while having a tooth pulled.”
