“All writers are vain, selfish, and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives there lies a mystery. Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand. For all one knows that demon is simply the same instinct that makes a baby squall for attention. And yet it is also true that one can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one's own personality. Good prose is like a windowpane.”
― George Orwell, Why I Write

“We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.”

“If the whole world was blind, how many people would you impress?”
― Boonaa Mohammed

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”
