"Of all the ways of acquiring books, writing them oneself is regarded as the most praiseworthy method."

Previous Quote

The tradition I was born into was essentially nomadic, a herdsmen tradition, following animals across the earth. The bookshops are a form of ranching; instead of herding cattle, I herd books. Writing is a form of herding, too; I herd words into little paragraph-like clusters.
