I believe in communication; books communicate ideas and make bridges between people.

The truth is that love smashes into your life like an ice floe, and even if your heart is built like the Titanic you go down.

Confidence and superiority: It's the usual fundamentalist stuff: I've got the truth, and you haven't.

I live alone, with cats, books, pictures, fresh vegetables to cook, the garden, the hens to feed.
