But they must learn to know literature by being familiar with it from the very first. A child's intercourse must always be with good books, the best that we can find.”
“I am practically in the employ of Mr. Nobel. I have to meet everyone he sends my way.”
“There are a few artists that I'm really into. I mean, I'm a big Nick Cave fan. And there's a band from Australia called Big Heavy Stuff that's one of my favorite bands ever.”
