gptkbp:notableQuote
|
“The past is never dead. It's not even past.”
“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 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.”
“I am not a writer. I am a storyteller.”
