“When I was writing, it was necessary for me to read after I had written. If you kept thinking about it, you would lose the thing you were writing before you could go on with it the next day. It was necessary to get exercise, to be tired in the body, and it was very good to make love with whom you loved. That was better than anything.

I had learned already never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it.”

“Stick to a few incontrovertibly good books and to a few real principles of grammar and rhetoric, and stay away from itchy reading lists and above all stay away from those interminably arid – stupid – discussions of current events that have almost displaced the serious study of history and literature. It is appalling to see little boys and girls on television shows, aged in current events like so many intellectual dwarfs, little but old and pinched in the face, smoking as it were Cuban cigars of current events, midgets at a circus of politics discussing what should be done in Africa but prematurely denied the childhood knowledge of the Great Gray-Green Greasy Limpopo River; discussing foreign policy on Cuba when they do not know the formal beauty in the statement that Cuba is an island bounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the Straits of Florida, and the Caribbean Sea.”
