Quotations

Now he would never write the things that he had saved to write until he knew enough to write them well. Well, he would not have to fail at trying to write them either. Maybe you could never write them, and that was why you put them off and delayed the starting. Well he would never know, now.
—Ernest Hemingway, “The Snows of Kilimanjaro”

The reason why so few good books are written is that so few people who can write know anything.
—Walter Bagehot
