William Faulkner
“A writer must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid. ”
William Faulkner

Graham Greene
“Time has its revenges, but revenge seems so often sour. Wouldn’t we all do better not trying to understand, accepting the fact that no human being will ever understand another, not a wife with a husband, nor a parent a child? Perhaps that’s why men have invented God – a being capable of understanding. ”
Graham Greene, The Quiet American

Cormac McCarthy
“There is no God and we are his prophets.”
Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Graham Greene
“One has no talent. I have no talent. It's just a question of working, of being willing to put in the time.”
Graham Greene

William Faulkner
“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
