“A letter is a soul, so faithful an echo of the speaking voice that to the sensitive it is among the richest treasures of love.” honoré de balzac “It is what you read when you don’t have to that determines what you will be when you can’t help it.” oscar wilde “There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” ernest hemingway “Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.” franz kafka “You don’t write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say.” f. scott fitzgerald “Pouring out liquor is like burning books.” william faulkner

Strangely enough, that always gives us great pleasure, and we say the author is a genius.” thomas mann “Dare to think for yourself.” voltaire “I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.” edgar allan poe “All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.” ernest hemingway “Paths are made by walking” franz kafka “Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.” f. scott fitzgerald
