Most people won't realise that writing is a craft. You have to take your apprenticeship in it like anything else.
Katherine Anne PorterMexican writer and diplomat, "Pasado en claro" ("A Draft of Shadows") You learn something the day you die. You learn how to die.
Katherine Anne PorterThere has been a marvelous joyous carnival of mourning for Edith Piaf and Jean Coctaeau, and it was real!
