Humans are animals, and animals under stress tend to behave in ways that damage themselves and one another. Trying to live a life that doesn't depend for its happiness on the suffering of other people — that's a challenge we all fail to meet on a daily basis, isn't it?”

“I think anyone who seriously wants to write doesn't need external encouragement. It's taken me a very long time to be able to recognise my own writing processes, and to find pleasure as well as pain in the stages of confusion and incoherence they involve. The main thing I've learned is that you're writing only when you're writing, not when you're "Being a Writer" for other people.”
