  6. "There is a marvelous peace in not publishing. It's peaceful. Still. Publishing is a terrible invasion of my privacy. I like to write. I love to write. But I write just for myself and my own pleasure.“ • "I'm not trying to hide the gaucheries of my youth. I just don't think they're worthy of publishing.“ • “I don’t know.  I’ve written the quintessential “Great American Novel”.  That phrase makes me sick, you should know. I’ve written it, which is more than most people do with their whole lives.  But here’s the thing about accomplishment.  The novelty wears off.  Anyone who does something great can’t be sated forever.  In fact, I believe the opposite.  If you’re the type of person doing something great, you’re the type of person who will be frustrated by the fact that you only did it once.”
