While telling the story, if each eyelash does not drip with blood
You’re not telling a love story, but a tale made for kids.
quotations
On Reading & Writing by William Faulkner
Read, read, read. Read everything–trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You’ll absorb it. Then write. If it is good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out the window.
a thought from Antonio Machado
It is good knowing that glasses
are to drink from;
the bad thing is not to know
what thirst is for.
translated by Robert Bly
a bit of philosophy from Li Bai
How could I lower my eyebrows, bend my waist to serve those with power and wealth,
And deny myself the joys of a smiling face and a buoyant heart?
translated by Wu-chi Liu
