“A book has but one vioce, but it does not instruct everyone alike.”
“I often find myself in situations where it seems to me like everyone else has read the instruction book”
“When everyone thinks alike, no one is doing very much thinking.”
“Books and people are alike in one respect: they're both full of thoughts.”
“As I grew older, I understood that instructions came with this voice. What were these instructions? The instructions were never to lament casually. And if one is to express the great inevitable defeat that awaits us all, it must be done within the strict confines of dignity and beauty.”
