“I shall be but a shrimp of an author.”

“Too poor for a bribe, and too proud to importune, he had not the method of making a fortune.”

“Where ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be wise.”

“If you were to ask me to pick my favourite author, well, there are so many of them, I'd really just have to say the first names that came to mind, and I'm sure that I'll later think 'Oh, I should have mentioned that one.'”

“Being a best-selling author doesn't make you a millionaire. It's not like Stephen King.”

“Well, like in Orwell books, whom I cherish very much as an author, in classical totalitarian regimes, you always have to make people hate someone. And this hatred is all around the Russian politics.”
