Javier Marías
“Para qué esto y para qué lo otro, para qué el dinero, o un negocio y su urdimbre, para qué una casa y una biblioteca, para qué salir y trabajar y hacer proyectos, para qué tener hijos y para qué hacer nada. Nada dura lo bastante porque todo se acaba, y una vez acabado resulta que nunca fue bastante, aunque durara cien años.”
Javier Marías, Los enamoramientos

David  Mitchell
“escape is never further than the nearest book”
David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

Stephen  King
“Kill your darlings, kill your darlings, even when it breaks your egocentric little scribbler’s heart, kill your darlings.”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

John Steinbeck
“Act out being alive, like a play. And after a while, a long while, it will be true.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

John Steinbeck
“I think the difference between a lie and a story is that a story utilizes the trappings and appearance of truth for the interest of the listener as well as of the teller. A story has in it neither gain nor loss. But a lie is a device for profit or escape. I suppose if that definition is strictly held to, then a writer of stories is a liar - if he is financially fortunate.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden
