• In my profession it isn’t a question of telling good literature from bad. Really good literature is seldom appreciated in its own day. The best authors die poor, the bad ones make money — it’s always been like that. What do I, an agent, get out of a literary genius who won’t be discovered for another hundred years? I’ll be dead myself then. Successful incompetents are what I need.

• El problema es el siguiente: para ganar dinero -mucho dinero- no necesitamos obras maestras literarias impecables. Lo que necesitamos es basura mediocre, basura apta para el consumo masivo.

• A veces, en el curso de mi desesperada búsqueda, cogía y hojeaba uno de los libros ordinarios que había esparcidos por el castillo. Siempre que lo hacía, me parecía tan insípido e insustancial que montaba en cólera y lo arrojaba contra la pared tras leer las primeras frases. Me sentía desamparado por cualquier otra forma de literatura, y el tormento mental que sufría era comparable a la agonía de un amor no correspondido agravada por los síntomas de abstinencia asociados a una grave adicción.
