Maurice Maeterlinck
“We all live in the sublime. Where else can we live? That is the only place of life.”
Maurice Maeterlinck, The Treasure of the Humble

Edmund Wilson
“What a gulf between the self which experiences and the self which describes experience.”
Edmund Wilson

Sylvia Plath
“Remember about the shadow of past knowledge. Write about your own experience. By that experience someone else may be a bit richer some day. Read widely of others experience in thought and action; stretch to others even though it hurts and strains and would be more comfortable to snuggle back in the comforting cotton-wool of blissful ignorance! Hurl yourself at goals above your head and bear the lacerations that come when you slip and make a fool of yourself; try always, as long as you have breath in your body, to take the hard way, the Spartan way and work, work, work to build yourself into a rich, continually evolving entity!”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

W.G. Sebald
“How strange it is, to be standing leaning against the current of time.”
W.G. Sebald

Alex Haley
“Either you deal with what is the reality, or you can be sure that the reality is going to deal with you.”
Alex Haley
