Tennessee Williams
“Make voyages. Attempt them. There's nothing else.”
Tennesse Williams, Camino Real

Norman Maclean
“One of life's quiet excitements is to stand somewhat apart from yourself and watch yourself softly becoming the author of something beautiful even if it is only a floating ash.”
Norman Maclean, River Runs Through It

William Goldman
“Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.”
William Goldman, The Princess Bride
