Francoise Sagan "It seems to me that there are two kinds of trickery: the 'fronts' people assume before one another's eyes, and the 'front' a writer puts on the face of reality." Athol Fugard "Nobody can take what I love away from me. I would like to believe that love is the only energy I've ever used as a writer. I've never written out of anger, although anger has informed love." Aldous Huxley "There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self." |
