“Writing is the art of applying the ass to the seat.”
― Dorothy Parker

“But love is not comprised of words, pretty though they are to hear. It is comprised of the choices you make in every moment.”
― Tracy Rees, Amy Snow

“In writing. Don't use adjectives which merely tell us how you want us to feel about the thing you are describing. I mean, instead of telling us a thing was "terrible," describe it so that we'll be terrified. Don't say it was "delightful"; make us say "delightful" when we've read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, wonderful, hideous, exquisite) are only like saying to your readers, "Please will you do my job for me."

[Letter to Joan Lancaster, 26 June 1956]”

“We can’t hold onto things. Time is like the river. It carries us off, and faster than we would like, most often.”
― Tracy Rees, Amy Snow
