“Knitting is formed by a series of loops pulled through loops to the end of time or to 'desired length'. By picking up loops and working in the opposite direction you are really picking up the concavities between the loops, and it is sheer unexpected witchcraft that stocking stitch and garter stitch will permit such an anomaly. Be grateful for this and don't expect anymore.”

“Knives sliced cleanly through the salmon, pink flesh flaking on either side, the crust giving way with a satisfying crunch. Lenore and Maz were eating, too, but I kept my eyes fixed on Luke's fork. He tried a bite of the salmon plain first, chewing thoughtfully, then swept up some of my rice porridge with the seaweed-pickled vegetables, then returned for a bite of everything together, pink salmon and white porridge and pops of green and red all entering his parted lips.
He closed his eyes as he tasted my food. He didn't open them again until he swallowed. "The salmon is perfect," he said. "Flaky and tender, with just the right amount of smoke, and the crunch of that crust is just..." He paused, those bottomless eyes on mine. The tip of his tongue darted over his lower lip. "Incredible."
I didn't mean to smile, just nod appreciatively at any praise, but I felt it curl over my lips anyway. "Thank you."
"I agree," said Lenore. "The salmon is something quite special. Is the crust rice alone?"
"No," I said. "It's ground rice with some panko and a little nori."
She nodded with approval. "And these seaweed-pickled vegetables are stellar. Bright and tangy, a lovely pop of acid against the richness of the salmon and the porridge.”

“Knjige ne diramo i ne čitamo. Ponekad, iz očajanja, uzmemo poneku knjigu i kad se iznenada suočimo sa njenom lepotom i pameću - to nas dotuče. Bolje je da je nismo ni uzimali. Ne bismo znalo kako je prazno i pusto živeti bez knjiga.”

“Književni život uzbudljiv je samo za pisaćim stolom, između četiri zida. Sve drugo izaziva osjećaj poraza, ljudskog i profesionalnog, ukoliko se ozbiljno pisanje uopće može zvati profesijom.”

“Knot the tie and go to work, unknot the tie and go to sleep. I sleep. I dream. I wake. I sing.
