I hate books; they only teach us to talk about things we know nothing about.

The sad fact is that actual artistic oppression - book banning in its many modern forms - is a matter of course in the entertainment industry, especially when the underlying product is declared politically incorrect or runs contrary to the interests of Hollywood's political altar, the Democratic Party.

Sometimes I don't like the books that I'm reading.

I've got a big, long list of stuff you're entitled to hate about my books.

Every book I write, the media just keeps punching me in the face.

I don't like books, they're all fact, no heart.

Like any other person who reads a ton of books, I hate many, many books. Oh, how I hate them. I have performed dramatic readings of the books I hate. I have little hate summaries. I have hate impressions. I can act out, scene by hateful scene, some of these books. I can perform silent hate charades.

If you cannot learn to love real art, at least learn to hate sham art and reject it.

There is far too much literary criticism of the wrong kind. That is why I never could have survived as an academic.

I don't understand how any good art could fail to be political.
