How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.
Quotations
Henry David Thoreau
Nothing goes by luck in composition. It allows of no tricks. The best you can write will be the best you are.
If you can speak what you will never hear, if you can write what you will never read, you have done rare things.
It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive.
