“I'm willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else's living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another's brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves.”
― John Updike

“Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or better.”
― John Updike

“What art offers is space – a certain breathing room for the spirit.”
― John Updike

“If you have the guts to be yourself, other people'll pay your price.”
― John Updike, Rabbit, Run
