Quotes
-
Morning comes whether you set the alarm or not.
-
The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.

- The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next.
