Leonard Cohen, One of These Days
“Well, it made sense. If she could write a book, he would be out of a job. That’s why Madame Bovary had to be too dumb and banal to write “Madame Bovary.” But I wasn’t dumb or banal, and I lived in the future. Nobody was going to trick me into marrying some loser, and even if they did, I would write the goddamn book myself.”

"The closer he looks at the child, the less he sees. But the more he looks at, there's nothing there. I think he fears that the more you look at him the less you see. There isn't anything there. That's him" -John Hughes, Cameron at the Art Institute in Ferris Bueller's Day Off

"You are safe where you are, but you are not getting what you want. If you go after what you want, you will have to create a safety that can travel — one that can get bumped around and sleep in odd places and get crafty when the first of the month rolls around."

"I think I write to think--not to find out what I think; surely I know what I already think--but to do better thinking. Staring at my laptop makes me better at thinking. Even thinking about writing makes me better at thinking. And when I'm thinking well, I can sometimes write that rare, rare sentance or paragraph that feels exactly right, only in the sense that I found the exact right sequence of words and punctuation to express my own thought--the grammar in the thought. That rightness feels so good,like sinking an unlikely shot in pool. The ball is away and apart from you, but you feel it in your body, the knowledge of causation. Never mind luck or skill or free will, you caused that effect--you're alive!"
