"I perceived that to express those impressions, to write that essential book, which is the only true one, a great writer does not, in the current meaning of the word, invent it, but, since it exists already in each one of us, interprets it. The duty and the task of a writer are those of an interpreter."	Marcel Proust

For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day."	Ernest Hemingway
"There are laws to protect the freedom of the press's speech, but none that are worth anything to protect the people from the press."	Mark Twain

"Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it."	C.S. Lewis
"I made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it short."	Blaise Pascal
"Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very'; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite."	C.S. Lewis
