Almost all americans would recognize anchorage, because anchorage is that part of any city where the city has burst its seams and extruded colonel sanders.

You don't want to move toward some utopian literary situation where everybody's free of all conventions. that's ridiculous! conventions are what you need. you have nothing to break down if you don't have conventions.

The artist is the lowest form of life on the rung of the ladder. the publishers are usually businessmen who deal with businessmen. they deal with promotional people. they deal with financial people. they deal with accountants. they deal with people who work on higher levels. they deal with tax people, but have absolutely no interest in artists, in individual artists, especially very young artists.

But though every created thing is, in this sense, a mystery, the word mystery cannot be applied to moral truth, any more than obscurity can be applied to light. ... mystery is the antagonist of truth. it is a fog of human invention, that obscures truth, and represents it in distortion. truth never envelops itself in mystery, and the mystery in which it is at any time enveloped is the work of its antagonist, and never of itself.

The answer is never the answer. what's really interesting is the mystery. if you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. i've never seen anybody really find the answer, but they think they have. so they stop thinking. but the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. the need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.

Real writers-that is, capital w writers-rarely make much money. their biggest reward is the occasional reader's response.... commentators-in-print voicing big fat opinions-you might call us small w writers-get considerably more feedback than writers. the letters i personally find most flattering are not the very rare ones that speak well of my editorials, but the occasional reader who wants to know who writes them. i always happily assume the letter-writers is implying that the editorials are so good that i couldn't have written them myself.

I worked real hard to learn to play first. in the beginning, i used to make one terrible play a game. then, i got so i'd make one a week, and finally, i'd pull a real bad one maybe once a month. at the end, i was trying to keep it down to one a season.

I have my own peculiar yardstick for measuring a man: does he have the courage to cry in a moment of grief? does he have the compassion not to hunt an animal? in his relationship with a woman, is he gentle? real manliness is nurtured in kindness and gentleness, which i associate with intelligence, comprehension, tolerance, justice, education, and high morality. if only men realized how easy it is to open a woman's heart with kindness, and how many women close their hearts to the assaults of the don juans.
