William Faulkner
“Interviewer: Some people say they can’t understand your writing, even after they read it two or three times. What approach would you suggest for them?

Faulkner: Read it four times.”
William Faulkner

Charles Darwin
“But I am very poorly today & very stupid & I hate everybody & everything. One lives only to make blunders.”
Charles Darwin, The Correspondence of Charles Darwin, Volume 9: 1861

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“But she did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human. So she was turned to a pillar of salt. So it goes. People aren't supposed to look back. I'm certainly not going to do it anymore.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

Mary Oliver
“I read the way a person might swim, to save his or her life. I wrote that way too.”
Mary Oliver, Wild Geese

Maurice Sendak
“Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.”
Maurice Sendak
