"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."

"Face your fears with courage."

"You can't live your life in fear."

"Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?"

"Fear is just another obstacle to overcome."
