Lily Borovets

“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

“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”
― Anais Nin

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform (or pause and reflect).”
― Mark Twain

“Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that freed self was another.”
― Toni Morrison, Beloved
