#5amwritersclub "If you understand everything you have read in your life, you would already know what you are looking for now." Georges Gurdjieff

#5amwritersclub "Books are a delightful society. If you go into a room filled with books, even without taking them down from their shelves, they seem to speak to you, to welcome you." William E. Gladstone

[League VT Writers @vtwriters]

"An ordinary man can... surround himself with two thousand books... and thenceforward have at least one place in the world in which it is possible to be happy." Augustine Birrell

[League VT Writers @vtwriters]

#5amwritersclu "No matter how piercing and appalling his insights, the desolation creeping over his outer world, the lurid lights and shadows of his inner world, the writer must live with hope, work in faith." J. B. Priestly

[League VT Writers @vtwriters]

#5amwritersclub "As good almost kill as man as kill a good book: who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image; but he who destroys a good book kills reason itself, kills the image of God, as it were, in the eye." John Milton

#5amwritersclub "Some say life is the thing, but I prefer reading." Ruth Rendell

#5amwritersclub "Only one hour in the normal day is more pleasurable than the hour spent in bed with a book before going to sleep, and that is the hour spent in bed with a book after being called in the morning." Rose Macaulay

#5amwritersclub "The harmonies of bound books are like the flowers of the field." Hillaire Belooc

#5amwritersclub "A room with out books is like a body without a soul." Cicero

[League VT Writers @vtwriters]

#5amwritersclub "The walls of books around him, dense with the past, formed a kind of insulation against the present world and its disasters." Ross MacDonald

[League VT Writers @vtwriters]

"The last thing that we find in making a book is to know what we must put first." Blaise Pascal

[League VT Writers @vtwriters]

#5amwritersclub "Literature was not born on the day when a boy crying 'wolf, wolf' came running out with a wolf on his heels: literature was born on the day when a boy came crying 'wolf, wolf' and there was no wolf behind him." Vladimir Nabokov

[League VT Writers @vtwriters]

#5amwritersclub "There is nothing so important as the book can be." Maxwell Perkins

[League VT Writers @vtwriters]

"The last thing that we find in making a book is to know what we must put first." Blaise Pascal

[League VT Writers @vtwriters]

"I don't think the writer has to know the end before starting a story. If he knows his people, as Poe and Hemingway knew theirs, he can start with some notion of the end, or none at all, and turn his people loos to find it on their own." Robert Twohy

[League VT Writers @vtwriters]

#5amwritersclub " How can one make a life out of six cardboard boxes full of tailor's bills, love letters and old picture postcards?" Virginia Woolf

[League VT Writers @vtwriters]

#5amwritersclub "Life goes on, and for the sake of verisimilitude, and realism, you cannot positively give the impression of an ending: you must let something hang. A cheap interpretation of that would be to say that you must always leave a chance for a sequel." John O'Hara

[League VT Writers @vtwriters]

#5amwritersclub "Much advice is given about the start of a story, the need to capture the reader's interest with the first line or two. The ending is no less important... There must be an ending, something that acts as a fixative." Mary Wallace
