Picking five favorite books is like picking the five body parts you'd most like not to lose.

I want the deepest$$$ darkest$$$ sickest parts of you that you are afraid to share with anyone because I love you that much.

Get the facts$$$ or the facts will get you. And when you get them$$$ get them right$$$ or they will get you wrong.

The worse the passage the more welcome the port.

The world of literature is a world where there is no reality except that of the human imagination.

I travel light; as light$$$ that is$$$ as a man can travel who will still carry his body around because of its sentimental value.

There may always be another reality to make fiction of the truth we think we've arrived at.

Part of freedom is the right of each of us to go to hell in his own fashion.

A good book has no ending.

Something we were withholding made us weak$$$ until we found it was ourselves.
