"No good book has ever been written that has in it symbols
arrived at beforehand and stuck in... I tried to make a real
old man, a real boy, a real sea and a real fish and real sharks.
But if I made them good and true enough they would mean
many things".

"A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see
who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting
pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more."
