“This is the first thing I have understood:Time is the echo of an axe within a wood.”
“A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.”
“Woods echoed in waves of green into the distance.”
“The purpose of a story is to be an axe that breaks up the ice within us.”
“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”
“Empty words almost echo within themselves”
