 A great number of the disappointments and mishaps of the troubled world are the direct result of literature and the allied arts. It is our belief that no human being who devotes his life and energy to the manufacture of fantasies can be anything but fundamentally inadequate

 Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamp-post how it feels about dogs.

 I always divide people into two groups. Those who live by what they know to be a lie, and those who live by what they believe, falsely, to be the truth.

 I became a virtuoso of deceit. It wasn't pleasure I was after, it was knowledge. I consulted the strictest moralists to learn how to appear, philosophers to find out what to think and novelists to see what I could get away with. And, in the end, I distilled everything down to one wonderfully simple principle: win or die.

 I have always thought of sophistication as rather a feeble substitute for decadence.

 I think there's something degrading about having a husband for a rival. It's humiliating if you fail and commonplace if you succeed.

 If I had to give a definition of capitalism I would say: the process whereby American girls turn into American women.
