“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
― William Faulkner

“Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.”
― Alan Watts

“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.”
― Groucho Marx

“We shouldn't be looking for heroes, we should be looking for good ideas.”
― Noam Chomsky
