This Is The Gift All Writers Seek-to

Books Themselves Need No Defense. Their Spokesmen Come And Go, Their Readers Live And Die, They Remain Constant.

To Achieve Lasting Literature, Fictional Or Factual, A Writer Needs Perceptive Vision, Absorptive Capacity, And Creative Strength.

This Is The Gift All Writers Seek-to Write Language That Incandesces Yet Does Not Melt.

[a Writer] Must Try To Think Clearly, To Feel Deeply, To Write Honestly. If He Is Fortunate He Will Make A Living, But His Work Will Never Be Anymore Essentially Clear And Deep And Honest Than He Himself Is, And He Will Be Judged Finally Not For How Many Copies His Books Have Sold, But For What They Have Done To Enrich The Lives Of Their Readers, Now And In Time To Come.

We All Think Were Going To Be Great And We Feel A Little Bit Robbed When Our Expectation Aren't Met, But Sometimes Our Expectations Sell Us Short. Sometimes The Expected Simply Pales In Comparison To The Write To Be Understood, Speak To Be Heard, Read To Grow.
