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

"Do you suffer when you write? I don't at all. Suffer like a bastard when don't write, or just before, and feel empty and fucked out afterwards. But never feel as good as while writing."

"The first and final thing you have to do in this world is to last it and not be smashed by it."

"Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another."

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

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