Gentle and giving-all the rest is treason.

Gentle and giving-all the rest is treason.

In literature as in life, to conform to anything is to knuckle under to your inferiors.

Greatness and Truth can never be in danger from these murdering wretches. To perform one's duty, be it now, be it clean, and be it done with humility… A man is a sacred thing. ANY ACTION OR THOUGHT WHICH INJURES THE HUMAN IMAGINATION IS EVIL.

Literature is what you write when you think you should be saying something. Writing begins when you'd rather be doing anything else: and you've just done it.

Think enough and you won't know anything.

Snow is the only one of us that leaves no tracks.
