"The impulse to put everything down immediately is a weakness—a neurotic fear of losing something. You should know by now that the memory is an immense steel reservoir—nothing escapes it. Write immediately, yes! But as an artist." ~Henry Miller

“The writer’s only responsibility is to his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one. He has a dream. It anguishes him so much he must get rid of it. He has no peace until then. Everything goes by the board: honor, pride, decency, security, happiness, all to get the book written."

~William Faulkner, 1956

why are you talking so long to come?

"A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed." Henrik Ibsen

As I get older, I realize truer words were never spoken. 

"If you're going to be two-faced, at least make one of them pretty."

~Marilyn Monroe
