What do we any of us have but our illusions? And what do we... - W. Somerset Maugham

"Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul."

"Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species."

"We do not write because we want to; we write because we have to."

"The artist produces for the liberation of his soul. It is his nature to create as it is the nature of water to run down the hill."

"When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character."
