“I have never known a novel that was good enough to be good in spite of its being adapted to the author's political views.”
Edith Wharton
“The past, the present and the future are really one: they are today.”
Harriet Beecher Stowe
“I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.”
Anais Nin
“I like to write when I feel spiteful; it's like having a good sneeze”
D.H. Lawrence
“Human kind will prevail. And it will prevail because, in spite of the reaction of history, novels tell that art restores right in us that was disregarded by history. History is being what was, then literature offers what history has not always been,”
Carlos Fuentes
“I like to write when I feel spiteful. It is like having a good sneeze.”
David Herbert Lawrence
“In spite of how terrible this has been, a lot of good things are coming out of it.”
Karen Jones
