[Still in Melbourne January 1987]”
Germaine Greer, Daddy, We Hardly Knew You

Haruki Murakami
“Listen up - there's no war that will end all wars.”

Fran Lebowitz
“The best fame is a writer's fame. It's enough to get a table at a good restaurant, but not enough to get you interrupted when you eat.”
Fran Lebowitz
