On WRITING

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, or what it’s like inside you and you don’t know what it’s like inside me. In fiction, I think we can leap over that wall. I feel human and un-alone, intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, that I’m in a deep, significant conversation with another consciousness in a way I don’t with any other art.” - David Foster Wallace


"Most writers write for the same reason trees generate sap; it's in 
their system." - Gary Hayland


"The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish." - Robert Louis Stevenson
