“You could get used to anything if you had to.”

“A writer’s life is half ambition and half anxiety, and there has to be both. It is no good writing a novel and feeling fine, and it is no good writing a whole novel feeling miserable. It has to be both, that mixture of anxiety and ambition, and you get that with every novel, but more so when you write about these epics of human suffering. I felt that just as much when I wrote about the Gulag. Every writer knows what that is. The process goes… you have to think: ‘This novel I am writing is no good.’ Then you have to think: ‘All my novels are no good.’ And then, when you reach that point, you can begin.”

“Solamente hay una manera de leer, que es huronear en bibliotecas y librerías, tomar libros que llamen la atención, leyendo solamente esos, echándolos a un lado cuando aburren, saltándose las partes pesadas y nunca, absolutamente nunca, leer algo por sentido del deber o porque forme parte de una moda o de un movimiento. Recuerde que el libro que le aburre cuando tiene veinte o treinta años, le abrirá perspectivas cuando llegue a los cuarenta o a los cincuenta años, o viceversa. No lea un libro que no sea para usted el momento oportuno.”
