“I've had many more thousands of books in my possession than my shelves at home would indicate. At one time, I tried to keep them all, but that quest soon became impossible; I now only keep the ones I'm sure I'm going to reread, the ones I'm definitely going to read before I die, and the ones I can't bear to part with because of an aesthetic or emotional attachment.”

“A poem needs understanding through the senses. The point of diving in a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore; itâ€™s to be in the lake, to luxuriate in the sensation of water.

“The way I wrote it is a nice and enjoyable way to write stories, to pretend to say something when you're really saying something else. "Hey guys, come, I'll take you a football match."

Instead I talk about hope and hopelessness, darkness and light, good and evil, love and separation.”
