" I don’t think it is an easy thing to write and expect to be commercial, even if you are from Venus and a hermaphrodite. " - A. S. Byatt

" I like to write about painting because I think visually. I see my writing as blocks of color before it forms itself. I think I also care about painting because I’m not musical. Painting to me is not a metaphor for writing, but something people do that can never be reduced to words. " - A. S. Byatt

" I’m more interested in books than people, and I always expect everybody else to be, but they’re not. " - A. S. Byatt
