A writer should concern himself with whatever absorbs his fancy, stirs his heart, and unlimbers his typewriter. ... A writer has the duty to be good, not lousy: true, not false; lively, not dull; accurate, not full of error. He should tend to lift people up, not lower them down.

An ordinary mirror is silvered at the back but the window of the night train has darkness behind the glass. My face and the faces of other travellers were now mirrored on this darkness in a succession of stillnesses.

And in each plane of stillness is the moment of clarity that makes you responsible for what you do.

God. Your parents. Ex-girlfriends. Undocumented immigrants. Marvin in Human Resources. China.
