For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone.

It was really rather irritating to children who had never seen a mermaid. James M. Barrie

It's part of a writer's profession, as it's part of a spy's profession, to prey on the community to which he's attached, to take away information - often in secret - and to translate that into intelligence for his masters, whether it's his readership or his spy masters. And I think that both professions are perhaps rather lonely.

When I was growing up, books took me away from my life to a solitary place that didn't feel lonely.

They were all mine, private islands with secret passwords only the worthy could utter. Jodie Foster
