P. L. Travers

“Of all that is written, I love only what a person has written with his own blood”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.”
Anais Nin
“Authors like cats because they are such quiet, lovable, wise creatures, and cats like authors for the same reasons”
Robertson Davies
“To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But then, one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.”
Woody Allen
“When a writer talks about his work, he's talking about a love affair.”
Alfred Kazin
