“You think that it’s not magic that keeps you alive? Just ‘cause you understand the mechanics of how something works, doesn’t make it any less of a miracle, which is just another word for magic. We’re all kept alive by magic, Sookie. My magic’s just a little different from yours, that’s all.”

South African writer (now an Australian citizen) J.M. Coetzee was born Feb. 9, 1940. Coetzee received the Nobel for literature in 2003, for being an author “who in innumerable guises portrays the surprising involvement of the outsider”…
On his craft he says:
“I do not treat the creation of fiction, that is to say the invention and development of fantasies, as a form of abstract thought. I don’t wish to deny the uses of the intellect, but sometimes one has the intuition that the intellect by itself will lead one nowhere.” — J.M.C.
