I think that one possible definition of our modern culture is that it is one in which nine-tenths of our intellectuals can't read any poetry.
“Anytime you interfere with a natural process, you're playing God. God determines what happens naturally. That means when a person's ill, he shouldn't go to a doctor because he's asking for interference with God's will. But of course, patients can't think that way.”
“For me, literature is a complex game, both mental and concrete, which is acted out in a physical manner on the page.”
