25 August: Martin Amis Quotes

American author Martin Amis was born on this date in 1949, so here are some words of wisdom from him:

1. Addictions do come in handy sometimes: at least you have to get out of bed for them.
2. The first thing that distinguishes a writer is that he is most alive when alone.
3. Laughter always forgives.
4. The true manipulator never has a reputation for manipulating.
5. When we read, we are doing more than delectating words on a page stories, characters, images, notions. We are communing with the mind of the author.
6. Only in art will the lion lie down with the lamb, and the rose grow without thorn.
7. If God existed, and if He cared for humankind, He would never have given us religion.
8. Every 10 years you're a different person, and the really great books evolve with you as you get older. They're full of new rewards.
9. The first thing that distinguishes a writer is that he is most alive when alone.
10. Weapons are like money; no one knows the meaning of enough.
