I have said with as much sincerity as I can muster that if I were thrown into a dungeon with a sentence of one hundred years, with my only company being an illiterate guard who came twice a day with meals but who never spoke, I would still write - on coarse toilet paper in the dark if I could spare it.

Ich habe mit so viel Aufrichtigkeit gesagt, wie ich behaupten kann, dass ich, wenn ich mit einer Strafe von hundert Jahren in einen Kerker gestoßen würde, mein einziger Begleiter ein Analphabeten war, der zweimal täglich mit Essen kam, aber nie sprach, immer noch würde Beschreibe grobes Toilettenpapier im Dunkeln, wenn ich es verschonen könnte.

In its conception the literature prize belongs to days when a writer could still be thought of as, by virtue of his or her occupation, a sage, someone with no institutional affiliations who could offer an authoritative word on our times as well as on our moral life.

For hundreds of years people have talked about artists having inspiration, but often, some persons would say, write us a symphony or write us a song, on commission. The artists would come up with a masterpiece without waiting to have their muse inspire them.

There's been resistance to every new technology that's ever been introduced. When books came out hundreds of years ago, there were complaints that it would destroy the oral tradition. Some of those fears were justified, but it didn't stop the rise of the written word. And books have proven to be incredibly useful.
