Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death,... - Ernest Hemingway

"There is no friend as loyal as a book."

"I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?"

"It's none of their business that you have to learn how to write. Let them think you were born that way."

"The hard part about writing a novel is finishing it."

"People who write fiction, if they had not taken it up, might have become very successful liars."
