V. S. Naipaul

If you write a novel alone you sit and you weave a little narrative. And it's O.K., but it's of no account.

Loneliness

V. S. Naipaul

One must always try to see the truth of a situation - it makes things universal.

Truth

V. S. Naipaul

To be converted you have to destroy your past, destroy your history. You have to stamp on it, you have to say 'my ancestral culture does not exist, it doesn't matter.'

History

V. S. Naipaul

Home is, I suppose just a child's idea. A house at night, and a lamp in the house. A place to feel safe.
