Quotes
-“A conversation is a dialogue, not a
monologue. That's why there are so
few good conversations: due to
scarcity, two intelligent talkers
seldom meet.”
-“No one will ever know what 'In
Cold Blood' took out of me. It
scraped me right down to the
marrow of my bones. It nearly killed
me. I think, in a way, it did kill me.”
“Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade just
as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing
them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules
to suit yourself.”
“Love, having no
geography,
knows no
boundaries.”
