I Always Feel It Is A Shortcoming

Time Is The Most Extraordinary Gift For Friendship. You'll Get To Eat Your Meals Together And Study Together; In Some Cases You'll Even Sleep In The Same Room. You'll Have Time To Waste On Each Other. You'll Find Out Every Single Thing You Have In Common And Still Have Time To Catalogue All Of Your Differences. Don't Underestimate The Vital Necessity Of Friendship In Your Life Because It Is The Thing That Will Sustain You Later, When There Will Be Considerably Less Time.

I Love A Large Cast Of Characters. That's The Way Life Is: It's Flooded With People And We Keep Them All Straight.

But We Cannot Unbraid The Story Of Another Person’s Life And Take Out All The Parts That Don’t Suit Our Purposes And Put Forth Only The Ones That Do.

Write Because You Love The Art And The Discipline, Not Because You're Looking To Sell Something.

My Novels Are Very Much The Same, As I Think Many People's Novels Are. No Matter How Hard I Try To Do Otherwise, The Books Always Wind Up Being "a Group Of Strangers Are Thrown Together By Circumstance And Form A Society."
