“A book is a product of a pact with the Devil that inverts the Faustian contract, he’d told Allie. Dr Faustus sacrificed eternity in return for two dozen years of power; the writer agrees to the ruination of his life, and gains (but only if he’s lucky) maybe not eternity, but posterity, at least.

Sounds disgusting.’ I blushed deeper. ‘I have, however, read ‘The Joy Of Sex.’ ‘ He continued, a smile transforming his face. ‘Not in a while, but I think it’s one of those classics you can come back to again… and again.”

“Once you can write an alphabet, you can write a book of 100 million pages. It’s just a matter of believing it as possible, and taking the cross millimetre by millimetre.”

“Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man’s doing but my own.I am the force.”

“An average man is egoistic, proud and has strong self esteem. They always require partners who massage their ego not those who will drag their ego to the mud.”
