The act of writing is the act of discovering what you believe.”

– David Hare

 

“I must write it all out, at any cost. Writing is thinking. It is more than living, for it is being conscious of living.”

– Anne Morrow Lindbergh

 

“One day I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation…I’m here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards — and, of course, the whip God gave me.”

– Truman Capote
