Here are some quotes by Paul Auster:
1. ”To be alive in this beautiful, self-organizing universe — to participate in the dance of life with senses to perceive it, lungs that breathe it, organs that draw nourishment from it — is a wonder beyond words.”
2. ”Writing is a solitary occupation. Family, friends, and society are the natural enemies of the writer. He must be alone, uninterrupted, and slightly savage if he is to sustain and complete an undertaking.”
3. ”Stories only happen to those who are able to tell them.”
4. ”The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own existence. In some ways we are, in some ways we’re not.”
5. ”A man’s life is composed of a fixed number of events. In the end, the only thing that can be truly verified is that everything happened to him.”
These quotes reflect Paul Auster’s contemplative and philosophical approach to life and writing. They touch upon themes of wonder, solitude, storytelling, and the unpredictable nature of existence.
