"All my life, I have been a student of human beings."

"I have the nerve to walk my own way, however hard, in my search for reality, rather than climb upon the rattling wagon of wishful illusions."

"It seems to me that if I am to sustain myself as a writer, I must be given the right to write as I see fit."

"I would not exchange my life for any other. I have enjoyed every minute of it."

"Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place."
