“Localization in space and time is a limitation for humans: we always exist in a given place and time, and we cannot be everywhere at once. We should not make the mistake of expecting technical progress to free us from the human condition: despite all the advances in transport and communication systems, we remain bound to a single location. Wanting to break free of it is a sign we have listened to the serpent’s sly words, which long ago tempted the first humans to want to become like gods.”

“A writer’s job is to tell the truth. His standard of fidelity to the truth should be so high that his invention, out of his experience, should produce a truer account than anything factual can be.
