Trinidad and Tobago quotes
" All the details of the life and the quirks and the friendships can be laid out for us, but the mystery of the writing will remain. No amount of documentation, however fascinating, can take us there. "

V S Naipaul
" Argentine political life is like the life of an ant community or an African forest tribe: full of events, full of crisis and deaths, but life is always cyclical, and the year ends as it begins. "

V S Naipaul
" As a child I knew almost nothing, nothing beyond what I had picked up in my grandmother's house. All children, I suppose, come into the world like that, not knowing who they are. "

V S Naipaul
" But everything of value about me is in my books. "

V S Naipaul
" Each book, intuitively sensed and, in the case of fiction, intuitively worked out, stands on what has gone before, and grows out of it. I feel that at any stage of my literary career it could have been said that the last book contained all the others. "

V S Naipaul
" I am the kind of writer that people think other people are reading. "

V S Naipaul
" I came to London. It had become the center of my world and I had worked hard to come to it. And I was lost. "

V S Naipaul
" I have trusted to my intuition to find the subjects, and I have written intuitively. I have an idea when I start, I have a shape; but I will fully understand what I have written only after some years. "

V S Naipaul
" I will say I am the sum of my books. "

V S Naipaul
" Ignorant people in preppy clothes are more dangerous to America than oil embargoes. "

V S Naipaul
" In Trinidad, where as new arrivals we were a disadvantaged community, that excluding idea was a kind of protection; it enabled us - for the time being, and only for the time being - to live in our own way and according to our own rules, to live in our own fading India. "

V S Naipaul
" It might seem strange that a man who has dealt in words and emotions and ideas for nearly fifty years shouldn't have a few to spare, so to speak. "

V S Naipaul
" It was a good place for getting lost in, a city no one ever knew, a city explored from the neutral heart outward, until after many years, it defined itself into a jumble of clearings separated by stretches of the unknown, through which the narrowest of paths had been cut. "

V S Naipaul
" One always writes comedy at the moment of deepest hysteria. "

V S Naipaul
" That element of surprise is what I look for when I am writing. It is my way of judging what I am doing - which is never an easy thing to do. "

V S Naipaul
