If a story is in you, it has to come out. - William Faulkner

"You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore."

"Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Do not bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself."

"Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself."

"I'm bad and I'm going to hell, and I don't care. I'd rather be in hell than anywhere where you are."

"A writer must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid."
