Anne Lamott, on books:

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth.

What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world,

worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you.

Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave.

They show us what community and friendship mean; they show us how to live and die.

- Anne Lamott.

Jules Renard, on literature:

Literature is an occupation in which you have to keep proving your talent to people who have none.

- Jules Renard.

Robert De Niro, on writers:

The mind of a writer can be a truly terrifying thing.

Isolated, neurotic, caffeine-addled, crippled by procrastination,

consumed by feelings of panic, self-loathing, and soul-crushing inadequacy.

And that's on a good day.

- Robert De Niro.
