The end of wisdom is to dream high enough to lose the dream in the seeking of it.

Drøm

I never know what I think about something until I read what I've written on it.

It's a shame that the only thing a man can do for eight hours a day is work. He can't eat for eight hours; he can't drink for eight hours; he can't make love for eight hours. The only thing a man can do for eight hours is work.

Arbeid

He had a word, too. Love, he called it. But I had been used to words for a long time. I knew that that word was like the others: just a shape to fill a lack; that when the right time came, you wouldn't need a word for that anymore than for pride or fear.

There is something about jumping a horse over a fence, something that makes you feel good. Perhaps it's the risk, the gamble. In any event it's a thing I need.

Behov

I'm inclined to think that a military background wouldn't hurt anyone.

A mule will labor ten years willingly and patiently for you, for the privilege of kicking you once.

Given the choice between the experience of pain and nothing, I would choose pain

Erfaring

A writer is congenitally unable to tell the truth and that is why we call what he writes fiction.

Skönlitteratur

Behov

Smerte

A writer needs three things, experience, observation, and imagination, any two of which, at times any one of which, can supply the lack of the others

Forfatter

For every Southern boy fourteen years old, not once but whenever he wants it, there is the instant when it's still not yet two o’clock on that July afternoon in 1863, the brigades are in position behind the rail fence, the guns are laid and ready in the woods and the furled flags are already loosened to break out and Pickett himself with his long oiled ringlets and his hat in one hand probably and his sword in the other looking up the hill waiting for Longstreet to give the word and it's all in the balance, it hasn't happened yet, it hasn't even begun yet, it not only hasn't begun yet but there is still time for it not to begin against that position and those circumstances which made more men than Garnett and Kemper and Armistead and Wilcox look grave yet it's going to begin, we all know that, we have come too far with too much at stake and that moment doesn't need even a fourteen-year-old boy to think This time. Maybe this time with all this much to lose and all this much to gain: Pennsylvania, Maryland, the world, the golden dome of Washington itself to crown with desperate and unbelievable victory the desperate gamble, the cast made two years ago....

William Faulkner, Intruder In The Dust

I'm glad I haven't got the sort of conscience I've got to nurse like a sick puppy all the time.

The work of the artist is to lift up peoples hearts and help them endure
