Men in their late 50s often make very bad decisions.
From Paul Theroux
Travel works best when you're forced to come to terms with the place you're in.
I'm constantly running across people who have never heard of books I think they should read.
The amount of hassle involved in travel can be overwhelming.
Fiction writing, and the reading of it, and book buying, have always been the activities of a tiny minority of people, even in the most-literate societies.
If you're a misanthrope you stay at home. There are certain writers who really don't like other people. I'm not like that, I don't think.
I think that love isn't what you think it is when you're in your twenties or even thirties.
The more you write, the more you're capable of writing.
Although I'm not fluent in sign language by a long way, I could have a fairly decent conversation.
You may not know it but I'm no good at coping with all the attention in the luxury hotels I sometimes find myself in.
