"When you betray somebody else, you also betray yourself."; "When I was a little boy, they called me a liar, but now that I am grown up, they call me a writer."; "What nature delivers to us is never stale. Because what nature creates has eternity in it."; "We write not only for children but also for their parents. They, too, are serious children."; "We must believe in free will, we have no choice."; …"We know what a person thinks not when he tells us what he thinks, but by his actions."; "There will be no justice as long as man will stand with a knife or with a gun and destroy those who are weaker than he is."; "There is great treasure there behind our skull and this is true about all of us. This little treasure has great, great powers, and I would say we only have learnt a very, very small part of what it can do."; "The very essence of literature is the war between emotion and intellect, between life and death. When literature becomes too intellectual - when it begins to ignore the passions, the emotions - it becomes sterile, silly, and actually without substance."; "The second half of the twentieth century is a complete flop."; "The greatness of art is not to find what is common but what is unique."; "The analysis of character is the highest human entertainment."; "Our knowledge is a little island in a great ocean of nonknowledge."; "If you keep on saying things are going to be bad, you have a good chance of being a prophet."; "If Moses had been paid newspaper rates for the Ten Commandments, he might have written the Two Thousand Commandments."; "I did not become a vegetarian for my health, I did it for the health of the chickens."; "I am thankful, of course, for the prize and thankful to God for each story, each idea, each word, each day."; "For those who are willing to make an effort, great miracles and wonderful treasures are in store."; "Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression."; "Doubt is part of all religion. All the religious thinkers were doubters."; "A story to me means a plot where there is some surprise. Because that is how life is - full of surprises."; "A good writer is basically a story teller, not a scholar or a redeemer of mankind."
