| John LeCarre
A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world. Berlin. What a garrison of spies! what a cabinet full of useless, liquid secrets, what a playground for every alchemist, miracle worker and rat piper that ever took up the cloak. Having your book turned into a movie is like seeing your oxen turned into bouillon cubes. If there is one eternal truth of politics, it is that there are always a dozen good reasons for doing nothing. The monsters of our childhood do not fade away, neither are they ever wholly monstrous. But neither, in my experience, do we ever reach a plane of detachment regarding our parents, however wise and old we may become. To pretend otherwise is to cheat. The only reward for love is the experience of loving.Writing is like walking in a deserted street. Out of the dust in the street you make a mud pie. |
