 Government is either organized benevolence or organized madness; its peculiar magnitude permits no shading.

 He had a sensation of anxiety and shame, a sensitivity acute beyond usefulness, as if the nervous system, flayed of its old hide of social usage, must record every touch of pain.

 He skates saucily over great tracts of confessed ignorance.

 Hemingway described literary New York as a bottle full of tapeworms trying to feed on each other

 Her sentences march under a harsh sun that bleaches color from them but bestows a peculiar, invigorating, Pascalian clarity.

 How do you write women so well? I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability.

 I love my government not least for the extent to which it leaves me alone.

 I secretly understood: the primitive appeal of the hearth. Television is-its irresistible charm-a fire.

 I think ''taste'' is a social concept and not an artistic one. I'm willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else's living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another's brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves.

 I would especially like to recourt the Muse of poetry, who ran off with the mailman four years ago, and drops me only a scribbled postcard from time to time.

 I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.

 If men do not keep on speaking terms with children, they cease to be men, and become merely machines for eating and for earning money.

 In his field - where edge, zip and instant impact are sine qua non - Kidd is second to none.

 Inspiration arrives as a packet of material to be delivered.

 It is not difficult to deceive the first time, for the deceived possesses no antibodies; unvaccinated by suspicion, she overlooks lateness, accepts absurd excuses, permits the flimsiest patching to repair great rents in the quotidian.
