“Hell is—other people!”
― Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit

“Let the writer take up surgery or bricklaying if he is interested in technique. There is no mechanical way to get the writing done, no shortcut. The young writer would be a fool to follow a theory. Teach yourself by your own mistakes; people learn only by error. The good artist believes that nobody is good enough to give him advice. He has supreme vanity. No matter how much he admires the old writer, he wants to beat him.”
― William Faulkner

“In my dreams I kiss your cunt, your sweet wet cunt. In my thoughts I make love to you all day long.”
― Ian McEwan, Atonement

“An artist is a creature driven by demons. He doesn't know why they choose him and he's usually too busy to wonder why.”
― William Faulkner
