Things have a way of moving to the left, and then they move back to the right before somebody finds themselves in the center. That seems to be the nature of the creative world. It's not stagnant. I don't get upset about it.

Men and women are like right and left hands; it doesn't make sense not to use both.

But, as my mother used to tell me, two wrongs don't make a right. But I soon figured out that three left turns do.

There is probably no oral society that fails to mark the spatial distinction of left and right, peculiar as this distinction may be.

If you start very far to the left, it's harder to get to the middle.

My experience of the world is that things left to themselves don't get right.

I was born left-handed, but I was made to use my other hand. When I was writing 'Famished Road,' which was very long, I got repetitive stress syndrome. My right wrist collapsed, so I started using my left hand. The prose I wrote with my left hand came out denser, so later on I had to change it.

Because I believe that humans are computers, I conjectured that computers, like people, can have left- and right-handed versions.
