It’s been another one of those weeks at work, bookworms, and I’m sorry that I don’t have a “real” post for you today. With an important event tomorrow and an increasing dependence on caffeine, I’ll be happy when Friday evening rolls around. Until then, I’d like to celebrate some of my fellow famous literary Pisceans – we’re a creative bunch and it’s not surprising that our ranks include so many authors, artists and actors.
Enjoy their thoughts on writing and reading and I’ll see you next week.
“The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.” – Anaïs Nin (born February 21)
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” – Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel, born March 2)
“Good writers define reality; bad ones merely restate it. A good writer turns fact into truth; a bad writer will, more often than not, accomplish the opposite.” – Edward Albee (born March 12)
“There’s no reason you shouldn’t, as a writer, not be aware of the necessity to revise yourself constantly.” – John Irving (born March 2)
“Words to me were magic. You could say a word and it could conjure up all kinds of images or feelings or a chilly sensation or whatever. It was amazing to me that words had this power.” – Amy Tan (born February 19)
“There is something about that moment, when literature becomes accessible, and a door of the world opens. ” – Lois Lowry (born March 20)
“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.” – Douglas Adams (born March 11)
