The joy that isn't shared dies young.
The most beautiful things are those that madness prompts and reason writes.
The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.
Longer Version:
The role of the writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say. Most of the writing today which is called fiction contains such a poverty of language, such triteness, that it is a shrunken, diminished world we enter, poorer and more formless than the poorest cripple deprived of ears and eyes and tongue. The writer's responsibility is to increase, develop our senses, expand our vision, heighten our awareness and enrich our articulateness.
