Alice

“I exist as I am, that is enough,
If no other in the world be aware I sit content,
And if each and all be aware I sit content.
One world is aware, and by the far the largest to me, and that is myself,
And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand or ten million years,
I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness, I can wait.”
― Walt Whitman

“The silence depressed me. It wasn't the silence of silence. It was my own silence.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.”
― Ray Bradbury

“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
― Ernest Hemingway
