Ambiguity is something that I really respond to. I like the complexity of it.

Ambiguity is very interesting in writing; it's not very interesting in science.

I'm a participant in the doctrine of constructive ambiguity.

I left the ending ambiguous, because that is the way life is.

Take advantage of the ambiguity in the world. Look at something and think what else it might be.

Life sometimes gets in the way of writing.

I would like to provoke ambiguous responses in my readers.

Writing is a question of finding a certain rhythm. I compare it to the rhythms of jazz. Much of the time life is a sort of rhythmic progression of three characters. If one tells oneself that life is like that, one feels it less arbitrary.

The charge of being ambiguous and indefinite may be brought against every human composition, and necessarily arises from the imperfection of language. Perhaps no two men will express the same sentiment in the same manner and by the same words; neither do they connect precisely the same ideas with the same words.
