“Always tell the truth. It's the easiest thing to remember.”
David Mamet

Marcel Proust
“In reading, friendship is restored immediately to its original purity. With books there is no forced sociability. If we pass the evening with those friends—books—it’s because we really want to. When we leave them, we do so with regret and, when we have left them, there are none of those thoughts that spoil friendship: “What did they think of us?”—“Did we make a mistake and say something tactless?”—“Did they like us?”—nor is there the anxiety of being forgotten because of displacement by someone else. All such agitating thoughts expire as we enter the pure and calm friendship of reading.”
Marcel Proust

Robert Aickman
“You speak English beautifully, which means you can't be English.”
Robert Aickman, The Wine-Dark Sea

Jhumpa Lahiri
“[T]hey are trying to find the right word, to choose, finally, the one that is most exact, most incisive. It's a process of sifting, which is exhausting and, at times, exasperating. Writers can't avoid it. The heart of the craft lies there.”
Jhumpa Lahiri, In Other Words

Indira Parthasarathy
“அடக்கம் என்பது ஒரு புத்திசாலிதனமான அகம்பாவத்தின் வெளியீடு”
Indira Parthasarathy
