There is great treasure there behind our skull and this is true about all of us. This little treasure has great, great powers, and I would say we only have learnt a very, very small part of what it can do.

Our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of nonknowledge.

For those who are willing to make an effort, great miracles and wonderful treasures are in store.

The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect, between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual - when it begins to ignore the passions, the emotions - it becomes sterile, silly, and actually without substance.

You must believe in free will; there is no choice

A story to me means a plot where there is some surprise. Because that is how life is - full of surprises.
