I like to travel and connect....

I write the way you might arrange flowers. Not every try works, but each one launches another. Every constraint, even dullness, frees up a new design.

The desire to live in our imagination is driven by this suspicion that we're disembodied sensibilities cobbled into our bodies. That idea has infused most of human thought since the very beginning.

This idea that a book can either be about character and feeling, or about politics and idea, is just a false binary. Ideas are an expression of the feelings and the intense emotions we hold about the world.

One travels more usefully when alone, because he reflects more.

He travels the fastest who travels alone.

I get a friend to travel with me... I need somebody to bring me back to who I am. It's hard to be alone.

When the traveler goes alone he gets acquainted with himself.
