“Being a writer is an amazing job, but we’re all writers, most of us just forget to put our stories down on paper.”

“Put down everything that comes into your head and then you're a writer. But an author is one who can judge his own stuff's worth, without pity, and destroy most of it."(Casual Chance, 1964)”

“Jealousy is not at all low, but it catches us humbled and bowed down, at first sight. For it is the only suffering that we endure without ever becoming used to it.”

“It is the image in the mind that links us to our lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers, weaves the garland.”

“I liked being with him, as I like being with swift animals who are motionless when at rest.”

“Be happy.It's one way of being wise.”
