Anne Sexton
“Give me your skin
as sheer as a cobweb,
let me open it up
and listen in and scoop out the dark.”
Anne Sexton, Transformations

William Zinsser
“There are many good reasons for writing that have nothing to do with being published. Writing is a powerful search mechanism, and one of its satisfactions is to come to terms with your life narrative. Another is to work through some of life’s hardest knocks—loss, grief, illness, addiction, disappointment, failure—and to find understanding and solace.”
William Knowlton Zinsser, On Writing Well: The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction

V.S. Naipaul
“I could meet dreadful people and end up seeing the world through their eyes, seeing their frailties, their needs. You refer to yourself in order to understand other people. That's the novelist's gift, isn't it?”
V.S. Naipaul

Anna Quindlen
“Perhaps only when we've made our peace with our own selves can we really be the kind of friends who listen, advise, but don't judge, or not too harshly.”
Anna Quindlen, Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake

William Zinsser
“But nothing has replaced the writer. He or she is still stuck with the same old job of saying something that other people will want to read.”
William Knowlton Zinsser, On Writing Well: The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction
