هناك فرق كبير بين العمل السياسي والإبداع الأدبي؛ الفرق في الأساس هو أنه في السياسة لايمكن أن تعمل بما أسميه صدق الطفولة، أما في الأدب فلا يمكن أن يستحق العمل هذا الإسم إلا إذا التزمت بصدق الطفولة.

Do not speak unflatteringly of Jane," Flora said, walking beside Chad. "She is the greatest writer to have ever lived." "I thought that was Shakespeare." "William was, or course, quite good," Flora said. "But no one can compare to Jane Austen.

Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of magic.

If I could start over today, I would choose literature again. If the answers exist in the world or in the universe, I still think that's where we're going to find them.

Literature for me… tries to heal the harm done by stories. (How much harm? Most of the atrocities of history have been created by stories, e.g., the Jews killed Jesus.) I follow Sartre that the freedom the author claims for herself must be shared with the reader. So that would mean that literature is stories that put themselves at the disposal of readers who want to heal themselves. Their healing power lies in their honesty, the freshness of their vision, the new and unexpected things they show, the increase in power and responsibility they give the reader.

[...]vaikystėje mus domina tiktai herojai. Vėliau įgyjame kitokios patirties, herojus keičia personažai, mąstytojai, kitaip sakant, visokio plauko hamletai. Jie kelia iš tiesų svarbias problemas, kartais įžvelgia dramatiškiausius pasaulio aspektus, tačiau vis rečiau kyla noras su jais tapatintis. Jie ne herojai. Mūsų santykis su literatūros tekstu sudėtingėja, tampa komplikuotas. Herojų era baigaisi, prasideda abejonių, pažinimo, analizės, pastangų suprasti periodas. Skaitai tekstą dažniausiai jau dėl visai kitų paskatų nei vaikystėje...
