“You know how writers are... they create themselves as they create their work. Or perhaps they create their work in order to create themselves.”

“Some writers may never create a work. Their purpose is to help others create their first word.”

“Perhaps the greatest illusion a writer ever creates is that his work is achieved without great effort or sacrifice. ”

“We must know that we have been created for greater things, not just to be a number in the world, not just to go for diplomas and degrees, this work and that work. We have been created in order to love and to be loved.”

“Everybody has that feeling when they look at a work of art and it's right, that sudden familiarity, a sort of...recognition, as though they were creating it themselves, as though it were being created through them while they look at it or listen to it...”

“all things created have an order in themselves, and this begets the form that lets the universe resemble God.”
