Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will-whatever we may think.
From Lawrence Durrell
It takes a lot of energy and a lot of neurosis to write a novel. If you were really sensible, you'd do something else.
I imagine, therefore I belong and am free.
It is not love that is blind, but jealousy.
Old age is an insult. It's like being smacked.
I'm trying to die correctly, but it's very difficult, you know.
Everyone loathes his own country and countrymen if he is any sort of artist.
A woman's best love letters are always written to the man she is betraying.
No one can go on being a rebel too long without turning into an autocrat.
There are only three things to be done with a woman. You can love her, suffer for her, or turn her into literature.
