How can you keep up with her, this woman who is always reading another book besides the one before her eyes, a book that does not yet exist, but which, since she wants it, cannot fail to exist? Italo Calvino

Wherever I am, the world comes after me. It offers me its busyness. It does not believe that I do not want it. Now I understandwhy the old poets of China went so far and highinto the mountains, then crept into the pale mist. Mary Oliver
Every piece of writing... starts from what I call a grit... a sight or sound, a sentence or a happening that does not pass away... but quite inexplicably lodges in the mind. Rumer Godden
When I am writing, I am trying to find out who I am, who we are, what we're capable of, how we feel, how we lose and stand up, and go on from darkness into darkness. I'm trying for that. But I'm also trying for the language. I'm trying to see how it can really sound. I really love language.
