Then i turned the page and at the top it said things i miss about m and there was a list of 15 things, and the first was the way he holds things. i did not understand how you can miss the way somebody holds things.

More From Nicole Krauss

When the u.s. asks for the extradition of a terrorist, if turkey doesn't have that individual on the terror list, what do we say, what do we respond? now, the individual might not be on your terror list or terrorist list. but if he is on my list, and if we have an agreement on the extradition of criminals, if i make the request, then, well, you should extradite that person. and there has been numerous examples of that mechanism working with many other nations as well, not just the u.s.

If it bothers me on the page, i don't do it. if it attracts me on the page and moves me, makes me think a bit, makes me laugh, makes me cry, i'm interested in it. if it's there on the page, it means it's there and up to me to bring it out. i have done some films along the way that have been screwed up and not as good as they read. some films that are not that good on the page turn into good movies. so i'm fallible is what i'm saying.

You are wrong if you think that you can in any way take the vision and tame it to the page. the page is jealous and tyrannical; the page is made of time and matter; the page always wins.

I put my name on that occupy musicians list because someone wrote to me and said, "would you do this?" i said, "yeah sure, i support this." what artist wouldn't support that? what's the big deal? but then people wrote to me, "wow! you're on that list!" and i'm like, "who isn't on that list?" that would be more shocking.

What makes a free thinker is not his beliefs, but the way in which he holds them. if he holds them because his elders told him they were true when he was young, or if he holds them because if he did not he would be unhappy, his thought is not free; but if he holds them because, after careful thought, he finds a balance in their favor, then his thought is free, however odd his conclusions may seem.

The bible give us a list of human stories on both sides of the ledger. on list of human stories is used examples - do what these people did. another list of human stories is used as warnings - don't do what these people did. so if your story ever gets in one of these books, make sure they use it as an example, not a warning.

This book is to be read in bed.

I was one of those kids who had books on them. before weddings, bar mitzvahs, funerals and anything else where you're actually meant to not be reading, my family would frisk me and take the book away. if they didn't find it by this point in the procedure, i would be sitting over in that corner completely unnoticed just reading my book.

I do have personal relationships with a lot of "fans," in quotations. i answer all my mail, i get emails from fans, and i try to answer them all. that's important to me, but occasionally there's the thing where people basically ask me to write book reports for them, and i don't have that kind of time. i feel like there's a certain sexism involved, like because i'm a woman i'm supposed to constantly be like giving to everybody.

Any book is a self-help guide if you can take something from it.
