“A scrupulous writer, in every sentence that he writes, will ask himself at least four questions, thus: 1. What am I trying to say? 2. What words will express it? 3. What image or idiom will make it clearer? 4. Is this image fresh enough to have an effect?”
― George Orwell, Politics and the English Language

“Only the Dead stay seventeen forever.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.”
