My business is to be talented, that is to be capable of selecting the important moments from the trivial ones... It is about time for writers -particularly those who are genuine artists- to recognize that in this world you cannot figure out everything. Just have a writer who the crowds trust be courageous enough and declare that he does not understand everything, and that lone will represent a major contribution to the way people think, a long leap forward.
- Anton Chekhov-

Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.
- Truman Capote-

There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that´s your own self. So you have to begin there, not outside, not on other people. That comes afterwards, when you have worked on your own corner.
- Aldous Huxley-
