Orhan Pamuk > Quotes > Quotable Quote
“Over time, I have come to see the work of literature less as narrating the world than "seeing the world with words."
From the moment he begins to use words like colors in a painting, a writer can begin to see how wondrous and surprising the world is, and he breaks the bones of language to find his own voice. For this he needs paper, a pen, and the optimism of a child looking at the world for the first time. ”
