| Read, read, read. Read everything - trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it is good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out the window. |
| Some things you must always be unable to bear. |
| Some things you must always be unable to bear. Some things you must never stop refusing to bear. Injustice and outrage and dishonor and shame. No matter how young you are or how old you have got. Not for kudos and not for cash. Your picture in the paper nor money in the bank, neither. Just refuse to bear them. |
| The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. |

| The end of wisdom is to dream high enough to lose the dream in the seeking of it. |
| The last sound on the worthless earth will be two human beings trying to launch a homemade spaceship and already quarreling about where they are going next. |
| The most beautiful description of a woman is by understatement |
| The past is never dead. It's not even past. |
| The past is never forgotten; it's never even past |
| The past is not dead. In fact, it's not even past. |
