“Not all novelists are power-hungry madman. Some are power-hungry madwomen.”
“The power-hungry individual follows a path to his own destruction.”
“I am hungry for power, but not to lord over others; only to own myself.”
“You sought the power of my book . . . But that power is mine . . . mine alone . . . carelessly you a lesser entity, toyed with it . . . but it is mine . . . just as the book was mine . . . and now you are mine . . . and I . . . I am hungry.”
“I'll just ask now: What is it about my persona that draws every insane, power-hungry nutcase to me like a magnet?”
“All this time, I wasn't hungry for success, I was hungry.”
