“The world suffers a lot. Not because the violence of bad people. But because of the silence of the good people.”
― Napoleon

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

“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

“The road to hell is paved with adverbs.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
