“I knew that I shouldn’t have, but I did it all the same; and there you have my epitaph, or one of them, because my grave is going to require a monument inscribed on all four sides with rueful mottoes, in small characters, set close together.”

“Writers, unlike most people, tell their best lies when they are alone.”

“Some of them…just told lies. Others wove plots out of the gnarls and elf knots of their lives and then followed them through to resolution.”
