“...we are never old to ourselves. That is because at the close of the day the ship we sail in is the soul, not the body.”

“Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.”
“Perhaps this is the purpose of all art, all writing, on the murders, fiction and non-fiction: Simply to participate.”
