Augusta Li > Augusta's Quotes

“But this I know; the writer who possesses the creative gift owns something of which he is not always master--something that at times strangely wills and works for itself.

― Charlotte Brontë

“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.”
― Andre Gide, Autumn Leaves
