“I am a woman with thoughts and questions and sh*t to say. 
I say if I’m beautiful. 
I say if I’m strong. 
You will not determine my story—I will.” 

~~Amy Schumer

“Define success on your own terms, achieve it by your own rules, and build a life you’re proud to live.”

Find a New Path

Sometimes trails vanish. 
It doesn’t mean you took the wrong path,
You just need to look for another one
​Or create a new one.

Changing the World

​“You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can’t, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world. The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even but a millimeter, the way people look at reality, then you can change it.”
                                                                                                           - James Baldwin, b. 1924

"Oh, the comfort -- the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person -- having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away."
-Dinah Maria Mulock Craik,
poet and novelist
(26 Apr 1826-1887)

"My follies are the follies of youth. You will see that I laugh at them, and if you are kind you will laugh at them with me...

...I loved, I was loved, my health was good, I had a great deal of money, and I spent it, I was happy and I confessed it to myself."

​-Giacomo Casanova

Writing vs. Authorship

1/28/2017

0 Comments

 

"For a writer, the best way to speak is by writing. You will find everything I need to say in my works. Speech is carried off by the wind; the written word can never be obliterated."
- Mo Yan, first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel Prize in literature (2012).



"Sit down and put down everything that comes into your head and then you're a writer. But an author is one who can judge his own stuff's worth, without pity, and destroy most of it." -
Novelist Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (France)

"The only way I can write narrative is to get right outside my body and experience it. This can be exhausting and at times dangerous. One cannot be sure of redemption." -William S. Burroughs
