Writing always feels new because you never build equity. Every sentence is a slippery invention.

Writing has been the only job I’ve ever had, the only work I’ve done since 1978. It feels like I started yesterday, although I’m also aware of how many stories and books I’ve written and how many years have whipped by. Writing always feels new because you never build equity. Every sentence is a slippery invention, a bit of quicksilver I release to the world, and then it’s time to invent the next one. That’s why being a writer is never boring, but that’s also why it’s always a little terrifying, why every time I’ve sat down to write since 1978, I wonder if this is the time I simply won’t be able to do it and words will fail me. But so far, so good.

"The quickest way to spoil a friendship is to wake somebody up in the morning before he is ready."

“Why did you do all this for me?” He asked. “I don’t deserve it. I’ve never done anything for you.” “You have been my friend,” replied Charlotte. “That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what’s a life, anyway? We’re born, we live a little while, we die. A spider’s life can’t help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone’s life can stand a little of that.”
