Quote

People love pretty much the same things best. A writer looking for subjects inquires not after what he loves best, but after what he alone loves at all.

So I think a writer should write what he loves, the people he relates to.

Literature at its fullest takes human nature as its theme. That's the kind of writing that interests me.

The things I write are for those who are willing to accept a new relationship between the reader and the author.

There's so many other things to write about than unrequited love.

A writer doesn't write about just anything. He writes about things he has an affinity for.

For a true writer, each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment. He should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed. Then sometimes, with great luck, he will succeed.

To write, you need to find what you love.

A novelist needs to know his own strong points and weak points.
