Mark Twain
“Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”
Mark Twain

Don DeLillo
“...he lived with the consequences of self discovery and i suspected this was a more exacting hardship than anything the world might have worked out for him...”
Don Dellilo

F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Cut out all these exclamation points. An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald

Haruki Murakami
“I often recall these words when I am writing, and I think to myself, “It’s true. There aren’t any new words. Our job is to give new meanings and special overtones to absolutely ordinary words.” I find the thought reassuring. It means that vast, unknown stretches still lie before us, fertile territories just waiting for us to cultivate them.”
Haruki Murakami

Mark Twain
“Substitute 'damn' every time you're inclined to write 'very;' your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.”
Mark Twain
