Dream dreams,
then write them.
Aye, but live them first.
then write them.
Aye, but live them first.

The role of the writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say. Most of the writing today which is called fiction contains such a poverty of language, such triteness, that it is a shrunken, diminished world we enter, poorer and more formless than the poorest cripple deprived of ears and eyes and tongue. The writer’s responsibility is to increase, develop our senses, expand our vision, heighten our awareness and enrich our articulateness.
– Anaïs Nin, in her diaries.
This anonymous author is posting pages from their novel all over New York City. Each page has a note on where to find the next.
We stayed at home to write, to consolidate our outstretched selves.
– Sylvia Plath (via those stickers that you get with a Moleskine)
When you make a world tolerable for yourself, you make a world tolerable for others.
