“Mistakes are the portals of discovery.”
James Joyce
“It is my contention that a really great novel is made with a knife and not a pen. A novelist must have the intestinal fortitude to cut out even the most brilliant passage so long as it doesn’t advance the story.”
Frank Yerby
“Writing a novel is like building a wall brick by brick; only amateurs believe in inspiration.”
Frank Yerby
“It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.”
Anaïs Nin
“The artist must bow to the monster of his own imagination.”
Richard Wright
“I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all.”
Richard Wright
