Of all that is written, I love only what a person has written with his own blood.

Dancing in all its forms cannot be excluded from the curriculum of all noble education; dancing with the feet, with ideas, with words, and, need I add that one must also be able to dance with the pen?

When you start putting pen to paper, you see a side of your personal truth that doesn't otherwise reveal itself in conversation or thought.

All there is to writing is having ideas. To learn to write is to learn to have ideas.

Thus I got into my bones the essential structure of the ordinary British sentence, which is a noble thing.

Since day one, since the first time I touched the pen, I wanted to be the best at what I do.
