Quote by William Faulkner at the University of Virginia

“Writing is a solitary job--that is, no one can help you with it, bu there's nothing lonely about it. I have always been too busy, too immersed in what I was doing, either mad at it or laughing at it to have time to wonder whether I was lonely or not lonely. It's simply solitary. I think there is a difference between loneliness and solitude.”

“Non è, per essere precisi, che non si sentisse amato. Ma non capiva perché i suoi insistevano tanto sul fatto che “uscisse fuori dal suo guscio”. Che cosa c’era di male in un guscio? Le tartarughe sopravvivevano sulla Terra da oltre duecento milioni di anni, addirittura da più tempo dei serpenti e dei coccodrilli. E le tartarughe vivevano anche molto a lungo. Certe tartarughe americane, le tartarughe scatola, superavano i cent’anni e avevano una vista e un odorato eccellenti. Le tartarughe erano veramente degli animali straordinari. Cosa sarebbe successo se le persone le avessero obbligate a uscire dal loro guscio duecento milioni di anni prima? Molto probabilmente non esisterebbero più.”
