"A writer must refuse to allow himself to be turned into an institution."

"Fiction allows us to slide into other skins and to have adventures that are not only imaginative but deeply empathetic."

"The Caribbean is not just a place; it's a state of mind."

"Life is meant to be lived with passion."

"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."

"Life is a journey, not a destination."

"Life's too short for regrets."
