Quote

I need quiet and solitude to work. Darkness is best. If I am wide awake, I can't write.

I'm pretty social so it's hard for me to find solitude, but I need to have solitude to write.

I write best late at night, when everyone in the house has gone to bed. There's something magical about that late night silence that appeals to me.

All my life, I will continue obstinately to write about love, solitude and passion among the kind of people I know. The rest don't interest me.

Writers are often alone when they work. Hours pass in silence as one long moment; light fades as day turns back to face the coming night.

I love writing, and I love the solitude of the writing, in that you're just sitting there creating something from nothing, or a new story for characters you love and care about.

I like silence; I'm a gregarious loner and without the solitude, I lose my gregariousness.

If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light, If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always. I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you.

I always thought I'd write when I retired - when I turned 65.

The thoughtful soul to solitude retires.
