“These days, my subjects are murder and mayhem and other terrible things that happen to people - things that are even worse than cutting yourself shaving. And these are not the sorts of things you feel the need to experience before you write about them.”
“Philosophy is tested and characterised by the way in which it appropriates its history.”
