A novel is an impression, not an argument; and there the matter must rest.

My argument is that War makes rattling good history; but Peace is poor reading.

I think we all really enjoyed both the dynamic personalities and active debate during the panel.

The most important tactic in an argument next to being right is to leave an escape hatch for your opponent so that he can gracefully swing over to your side without an embarrassing loss of face.

Una novela no es buena ni por su contenido ni por como lo cuenta -dos supersticiones-, sino porque su alquimia resultó permanente sin que el autor lo mereciera. No se explica, no tiene fórmula, es pura voluntad de existencia, pulsión de vida

My weakness has always been to prefer the large intention of an unskilful artist to the trivial intention of an accomplished one: in other words, I am more interested in the high ideas of a feeble executant than in the high execution of a feeble thinker.
