“There is bad in all good authors: what a pity the converse isn't true!”
“Conversation in its true meaning isn't all wagging the tongue; sometimes it is a deeply shared silence. ”
“Conversation isn't about proving a point; true conversation is about going on a journey with the people you are speaking with.”
“But isn't it true that an author can write only about himself?”
“Sometimes people are good, and they do just what they should. But the very same people who are good sometimes are the very same people who are bad sometimes. It's funny but it's true. Its the same isn't it, for me and . . .”
“I never had, or wished for, power over you. That isn't true, of course. I wanted the greatest power of all. but not advantage, or authority.”
