When
you reread a classic, you do not see more in the
book than you did before; you see more in you than
there was before.
-- Cliff Fadiman
American Writer
The
tools I need for my work are paper, tobacco, food,
and a little whiskey.
-- William Faulkner
1897-1962, American
Novelist
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 is
good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out the
window.
-- William Faulkner
1897-1962, American
Novelist
If the
riches of the Indies, or the crowns of all the
kingdom of Europe, were laid at my feet in exchange
for my love of reading, I would spurn them all.
-- Francois FéNelon
