Writers are great lovers. They fall in love with other writers. That's how they learn to write. They take on a writer, read everything by him or her, read it over again until they understand how the writer moves, pauses, and sees.

We can reject religion, ideology, received wisdom, but we cannot escape the need for love and compassion.
