“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

“What would men be without women? Scarce, sir...mighty scarce.”
― Mark Twain

“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.”
― Mark Twain

“If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.”
― Rick Riordan, The Lightning Thief
