Good books make you ask questions. Bad readers want everything answered.

I always get questions that people didn't know that the event was happening. The younger generation doesn't read news-papers as my generation did, so we'll use vision medium. When I travel to other posts and turn on their information channel, I can really get to know what's happening. We're working hard to bring ours up to something people want to watch.

What refuge is there for the victim who is oppressed with the feeling that there are a thousand new books he ought to read, while life is only long enough for him to attempt to read a hundred?

I don't read books.

I truly believe that if you have more friends than books, you have too many friends. Or not enough books. Probably both.

If you want to write a negative review, don't tickle me gently with your aesthetic displeasure about my work. Unleash the goddamn Kraken."
