“A writer should read until he is filled to the brim and like a pitcher which is over-filled over flows. And then he should write.”
“A writer should always feel like he's in over his head”
“If you truly love a book, you should sleep with it, write in it, read aloud from it, and fill its pages with muffin crumbs.”
“If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you, fill her above the brim with love of herself ~ all that runs over will be yours.”
“A writer should write what he has to say and not speak it.”
“Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself.”
