“A short story is a love affair, a novel is a marriage. A short story is a photograph; a novel is a film.”
― Lorrie Moore

“I’d been beguiled by the new technology—a toddler crawling toward a gun.”
― Jon Ronson, So You've Been Publicly Shamed

“Give thyself time to learn something new and good, and cease to be whirled around.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“I am, when you stop to think of it, a member of a fairly select group: the final handful of American novelists who learned to read and write before they learned to eat a daily helping of video bullshit. This might not be important. On the other hand, if you’re just starting out as a writer, you could do worse than strip your television’s electric plug-wire, wrap a spike around it, and then stick it back into the wall. See what blows, and how far. Just an idea.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
