I find it interesting that people have taken bits of what I've written and turned them into quotations, putting them in books and posting them around the Internet. Unfortunately they're becoming a bit harder to find now that the search engines are focusing more on commercial sites, while ignoring personal sites, but I still come across them.
It's quite an honor to be quoted next to many of the world's greatest literary figures. I never expected it.
Most of the quotations are from my earlier books, since it takes time for readers to find them. Once someone posts them, they slowly begin to spread, so I expect some will eventually appear from my later books. Often I'm surprised at what they select. Sometimes when I tell people that I'm quoted around the world, they don't understand what I mean, so here are just a few examples.
