“No matter when it was written. That the author has written his book only for me.”

I have the same fantasy every time I read a book I love, no matter who wrote it

Every writer I had ever known wrote his best work when he had his back up against the wall and thought he would never write another word.

The story’s what matters; spelling’s overrated.

He is still my favourite author, and he is the one – I still think – who writes most honestly about human existence.

The books, the authors who matter the most are those who speak to me and speak for me all those things about life I most need to hear as the confession of myself

Anthony Heilbut has been a guide and a mentor to me. I know of no one who has the love and depth of knowledge of this extraordinary author.

Trust in your abilities and you’re the author of your own destiny.

The sower of the seed is assuredly the author of the whole harvest of mischief.

I’m dedicated to bringing to life what the author is trying to portray.

The authors I prefer are all very different and are not limited to certain genres or even certain time periods.

An author spoils everything when he wants too much to do good.
