“Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“It is never too late to be what you might have been.”
― George Eliot

“I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.”
― Edgar Allan Poe

“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
― Ernest Hemingway
