• What I want to tell you today is not to move into that world where you're alone with yourself and your mantra and your fitness program or whatever it is that you might use to try to control the world by closing it out. I want to tell you just to live in the mess. Throw yourself out into the convulsions of the world. I'm not telling you to make the world better, because I don't believe progress is necessarily part of the package. I'm telling you to live in it. Try and get it. Take chances, make your own work, take pride in it. Seize the moment.

• We tell ourselves stories in order to live...We look for the sermon in the suicide, for the social or moral lesson in the murder of five. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the "ideas" with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience.

• Creo que hacemos bien en seguir manteniendo buenas relaciones con las personas que solíamos ser, tanto si nos resultan una compañía atractiva como si no.

• Las personas que se respetan a sí mismas exhiben cierta dureza, una especie de nervio moral; muestran lo que antes se llamaba *carácter*, una cualidad que, aunque aprobada en abstracto, a veces pierde terreno frente a otras virtudes más negociables al instante.... carácter -la voluntad de aceptar la responsabilidad de la propia vida- es la fuente de la que brota el respeto por uno mismo.
