Books and all forms of writing are terror to those who wish to suppress the truth.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Books and all forms of writing have always been objects of terror to those who seek to suppress the truth.
I don't understand why, in my work, writing is always so dangerous. It's very destructive. People who write books are destroyers.
Writing is inherently scary.
The act of writing is a way of tricking yourself into revealing something that you would never consciously put into the world. Sometimes I'm shocked by the deeply personal things I've put into books without realizing it.
Writing a novel is easier than writing a memoir; you are not constrained by the truth.
I suppose that writers should, in a way, feel flattered by the censorship laws. They show a primitive fear and dread at the fearful magic of print.
It's not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written.
As a writer of fiction, lying is the central thing to all books.
I never heard of anyone who was really literate or who ever really loved books who wanted to suppress any of them.
The only book worth writing is the book that threatens to kill you.
