"The possibilities open to one are infinite. So why not do something Shakespeare, and Doestoevski and Faulkner didn't do, for after all they are nothing more than dead writers, members of this and that tradition, much-admired busts on a shelf. A dead writer may be famous but he is also dead as a duck, finished." — Walker Percy
"You only add books, you never subtract or divide them and any book that is printed is a book. It is nice that nobody writes as they talk and that the printed language is different from the spoken, otherwise you could not lose yourself in books and of course you do, you completely do. I always do. I always remember all the detail in the book, no matter what the book is and therefore it is necessary to begin it at the beginning to lose myself in it when I read it again, just as I had to when I read it first." — Gertrude Stein
"One can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small things." — Edith Wharton
"A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament. Its beauty comes from the fact that the author is what he is. It has nothing to do with the fact that other people want what they want. Indeed, the moment that an artist takes notice of what other people want, and tries to supply the demand, he ceases to be an artist, and becomes a dull or an amusing craftsman, an honest or dishonest tradesman. He has no further claim to be considered as an artist." — Oscar Wilde
