A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Flight to Arras, 1942
Novelists are not equipped to make a movie, in my opinion. They make their own movie when they write: theyre casting, theyre dressing the scene, theyre working out where the energy of the scene is coming from and theyre also relying tremendously on the creative imagination of the reader. – John le Carre
