gptkbp:notableQuote
|
“The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.”
“There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.”
“It is a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.”
