“Somebody at one of these places asked me: "What do you do? How do you write, create?" You don't, I told them. You "don't try". That's very important: not to try, either for Cadillacs, creation or immortality. You wait, and if nothing happens, you wait some more. It's like a bug high on the wall. You wait for it to come to you. When it gets close enough you reach out, slap out and kill it. Or if you like it's looks, you make a pet out of it.”

“Bu dünyada insanların korktuğu tek şey öğrenmekti. Acıyı, susuzluğu ve üzüntüyü öğrenmek onların uykularını kaçırıyor, bu yüzden daha rahat döşeklere, daha leziz yemeklere ve daha neşeli dostlara sığınıyorlardı. Dünyaya olan kayıtsızlıkları bazen o kerteye varıyordu ki, kendilerine altın ve gümüşten, zevk ve sefadan, lezzet ve şehvetten bir alem kurup, keder ve ızdırap fikirlerinin kafalarına girmesine izin vermiyorlardı.”

“Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than “politics.” They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren’t nice people? Resisters.”
