“ The past is never dead. It's not even past.”
“ I am not a writer. I am a storyteller.” “ You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.” “ 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 for a moment and not spend all your breath trying to conquer it.” “ The writer's only responsibility is to his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one.” |
