When you write you in a way write out of what you think of as your best self, the part of you that is lacking in foibles and weaknesses and egotism and vanities and so on. You're just trying to really say something as truthful as you can out of the best that you have in you.

I'm not a prophet, but I always thought it was natural for dictatorships to fall. I remember in 1989, two months before the fall of the Berlin Wall, had you said it was going to happen no one would have believed you. The system seemed powerful and unbreakable. Suddenly overnight it blew away like dust.

What's real and what's true aren't necessarily the same.
Salman Rushdie

One minute you've got a lucky star watching over you and the next instant it's done a bunk.

A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it or offer your own version in return.
