• When [George W.] Bush was elected, I think they thought I would have some sort of special "in" with that administration, to provide some sort of inside poop. Which is not something I'd be interested in doing, and anyway, I didn't. I actually knew more people in his dad's administration. So it was obviously winding down at Rolling Stone, and they were having financial troubles, too. They weren't getting the advertising, and the issues were getting thin. They fired Bob Love, who'd been my editor there for a long time.

• La historia presenta los rasgos más agradables de la poesía y la ficción: la majestuosidad de la epopeya, los conmovedores accidentes del drama, las sorpresas y la moraleja del romance. Wallace es un Héctor más grosero; Robinson Crusoe no es más extraño que Creso; los Caballeros de Ashby nunca iluminan la página de Scott con luces más ricas de lanza y armadura que las que los cartagineses, serpenteando por los Alpes, arrojan sobre Livio.
