“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
“I am just the classic person who wants to learn stuff. I want good tutors, and with Kurt I had the best.-”
Courtney Love
“Definition of a classic: a book everyone is assumed to have read and often thinks they have.”
Alan Bennett
“When you read a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in YOU than there was before.”
