“I read all of Ayn Rand's novels when I was 17.”

“If you go to prison, your child support adds up.”

“You don't set up an implicit promise from the federal government that everybody is getting bailed out.”

“People are so used to reading novels now, they just read a poem straight through to get the meaning. And that's something totally different from the slow way you read something if it's a tune; which to me a poem has to be.”

“Novels are like paintings, specifically watercolors. Every stroke you put down you have to go with. Of course you can rewrite, but the original strokes are still there in the texture of the thing.”

“Personally, I'm a big reader, and I've never wanted any of my favorite novels to be made into movies.”
