Nature's silence is its one remark, and every flake of world is a chip off that old mute and immutable block.

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.

Annie Dillard Author

As soon as beauty is sought not from religion and love, but for pleasure, it degrades the seeker.

Annie Dillard Author

Then why did you tell me?

Annie Dillard Author

Write as if you are dying.

Annie Dillard Author

The culture of New York is just impossible to replicate. Its such an incredible feeling to be walking on the streets of New York. You can literally find everything you need in a five block radius oftentimes.

Max Schneider Singer-Songwriter

This is another thing which I really like investigating in my novels: what is it that makes an intimate society, that makes a society in which moral concern for others will be possible? Part of that I think are manners and ritual. We tried to get rid of manners, we tried to abolish manners in the '60s. Manners were very, very old-fashioned and un-cool. And of course we didn't realise that manners are the building blocks of proper moral relationships between people.

Alexander Mccall Smith Writer

Missing someone has to be one of the worst human emotions. All the other feelings like anger and fear and horror get some much more airplay, as if their intensity gives them more value, but whereas those emotions come in violent bursts and are gone again, the gnawing ache of loss has to be simply endured. It's like background noise, it's always there, it never goes away. You just have to try to block it out, distract yourself, hope that tomorrow the hole they left behind has grown a little smaller.

Alexandra Potter Author

Nothing is harmful to literature except censorship, and that almost never stops literature going where it wants to go either, because literature has a way of surpassing everything that blocks it and growing stronger for the exercise.

Ali Smith Writer

We stood back-to-back, blocking and striking in harmony; sometimes it felt like his arms and legs were an extension of me. I could count on him to keep them off me from behind.

Ann Aguirre Author

I had to educate him that there was no such thing as writer's block, that writers write when they write, and when they don't, they don't.

Anthony Kiedis Singer-Songwriter
