Writers
A writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people. — Thomas Mann
(by way of @HarryShannon via @itscomplicated)
Readers
"An able reader often discovers in other people's writings perfections beyond those that the author put in or perceived, and lends them richer meanings and aspects."
Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
(by way of Pandora.Writing)
Samuel Johnson quotes
The only end of writing is to enable the readers better to enjoy life, or better to endure it.
Samuel Johnson
Credo
I write.
I do not write things that make me sad.
No. I am sad, and from that sadness, I write. I write to cope, and I write to hope.
Neither of which I do very well at all.
Yes. I have no reason to be sad, and no excuses, either. But I am. This is how I am. This is what I am. This is what I write.
I am an unreasonable man, and the world ... well, the world doesn't like unreasonable men, and it doesn't change just because a wish is begging it to.
So I write.
