Get it down. Take chances. It may be bad, but it's the only... - William Faulkner

"The saddest thing about love, Joe, is that not only the love cannot last forever, but even the heartbreak is soon forgotten."

"If a story is in you, it has to come out."

"In writing, you must kill all your darlings."

"You don’t love because: you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults."

"Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window."
