“I do not see any beauty in self-restraint.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
I want fame more than I can tell. But more than I want fame I want happiness.
Fame is indeed beautiful and benign and gentle and satisfying, but happiness is something at once tender and brilliant beyond all things.
I was born to be alone, and I always shall be but now I want to be.
I mean the beauty of being a writer is it's not like being a swimmer. When they were talking about our Olympic swimmers and they'd say, 'Oh she's so old, ' and she's all of 25 or something. So the beauty for a writer is that you can keep doing it right into your dotage, and I hope to be able to keep doing it as long as I can get away with it, yeah.
