“The past is never dead. It's not even past.”
“The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.” “Between grief and nothing, I will take grief.” “The only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself.” “You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.” “You cannot be a writer without being a reader.” “It is the writer's privilege to be able to see the world through the eyes of others.” “I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire; I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then.” “A man is the sum of his misfortunes.” “I am no longer sure of anything.” |
