You can give words, but you can't take them. and when words are given, that is when they are shared. we remember what that was like. words so real they were almost tangible. there are conversations you remember, for certain. but more than that, there is the sensation of conversation. you will remember that, even when the precise words begin to blur.

David Levithan
You can give words, but you can't take them. and when words are given, that is when they are shared. we remember what that was like. words so real they were almost tangible. there are conversations you remember, for certain. but more than that, there is the sensation of conversation. you will remember that, even when the precise words begin to blur.

The sensation of writing a book is the sensation of spinning, blinded by love and daring. it is the sensation of a stunt pilot's turning barrel rolls, or an inchworm's blind rearing from a stem in search of a route. at its worst, it feels like alligator wrestling, at the level of the sentence.

Under adversity, under oppression, the words begin to fail, the easy words begin to fail. in order to convey things accurately, the human being is almost forced to find the most precise words possible, which is a precondition for literature.

Discontents are sometimes the better part of our life. i know not well which is the most useful; joy i may choose for pleasure, but adversities are the best for profit; and sometimes those do so far help me, as i should, without them, want much of the joy i have.
