“Fiction allows us to see the world from the point of view of someone else and there has been quite a lot of neurological research that shows reading novels is actually good for you. It embeds you in society and makes you think about other people. People are certainly better at all sorts of things if they can hold a novel in their heads. It is quite a skill, but if you can't do it then you're missing out on something in life. I think you can tell, when you meet someone, whether they read novels or not. There is some little hollowness if they don't.”

“People with great gifts are easy to find, but symmetrical and balanced ones never.”
“I have a race routine. I have a team of people helping me. I have winning habits. I believe in myself. I have balance in my life.”
“The weight of great power crushes the goodness of the man who rules and the honesty of those who are ruled.”
“The one thing in the world of value is the active soul. And I think that soul doesn't necessarily die after we're dead and maybe there's a sense of sometimes we know more than we think we know about our lives and our demise.”
