“I was sand, I was snow—written on, rewritten, smoothed over.”
“i sometimes felt as if these marks on my body were a kind of code, which blossomed, then faded, like invisible ink held to a candle. But if they were a code, who held the key to it? I was sand, I was snow—written on, rewritten, smoothed over.”
“Good stories are not written, they are rewritten”
“Good novels are not written, they're rewritten!”
“A good book isn't written, it's rewritten.”
“History is always written wrong, and so always needs to be rewritten.”
