In a story you only had to wish, you only had to write it down and you could have the world...It seemed so obvious now that it was too late: a story was a form of telepathy. By means of inking symbols onto a page, she was able to send thoughts and feelings from her mind to her reader's. It was a magical process, so commonplace that no one stopped to wonder at it. Reading a sentence and understanding it were the same thing; as with the crooking of a finger, nothing lay between them. There was... Ian Mcewan

Such varieites of human nature as they are in the habit of witnessing!

What instances must pass before them of ardent, disinterested, self-denying attachment, of heroism, fortitude, patience, resignation-- of... Jane Austen

This sort of thing has got to be stopped. Bad philosophers are like slum landlords. It's my job to put them out of business. Ludwig Wittgenstein
The fact is, the public make use of the classics of a country as a means of checking the progress of Art. They degrade the classics into authorities. They use them as bludgeons for preventing the free expression of Beauty in new forms. Oscar Wilde
Scout, Im telling you for the last time, shut your trap or go home - I declare to the Lord youre gettin more like a girl every day!” With that, I had no option but to join them. Harper Lee
Anthony Powell quote: "It is not what happens to people that is significant, but what..."
It is not what happens to people that is significant, but what they think happens to them. Anthony Powell

Our job is to give new meanings and special overtones to absolutely ordinary words.” I find the thought reassuring. It means that vast, unknown stretches still lie before us, fertile territories just waiting for us to cultivate them. Haruki Murakami
I do enjoy writing, and I hope someone gets something interesting out of this book. I already have. Now, If I ever have to write a book that is not about me, I may be totally stumped and have writer's block. We will see. Writing is very convenient, has a low expense and is a great way to pass the time. I highly recommend it to any old rocker who is out of cash and doesn't know what to do next.
