  • Not write what you know, but know what you write. If you write about a world before, after, or other than this one, enter that world completely.

But this is the most important rule: write the book you most long to read.

    "Know thy subject" by Steven Saylor, www.theguardian.com. October 5, 2002.

    Blaise Pascal (2010). “Thoughts, Letters and Minor Works”, p.87, Cosimo, Inc.
  • Every book that anyone sets out on is a voyage of discovery that may discover nothing. Any voyager may be lost at sea, like John Cabot. Nobody can teach the geography of the undiscovered. All he can do is encourge the will to explore, plus impress upon the inexperienced a few of the dos and don'ts of voyaging.

    Wallace Stegner (2002). “On Teaching and Writing Fiction”, p.28, Penguin

  • A revolutionary career does not lead to banquets and honorary titles, interesting research and professorial wages. It leads to misery, disgrace, ingratitude, prison and a voyage into the unknown, illuminated by only an almost superhuman belief.

  • The voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tacks. See the line from a sufficient distance, and it straightens itself to the average tendency. Your genuine action will explain itself, and will explain your other genuine actions. Your conformity explains nothing. Act singly, and what you have already done singly will justify you now. Greatness appeals to the future.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1983). “Essays and Lectures”, p.266, Library of America
  • Taste, when once obtained, may be said to be no acquiring faculty, and must remain stationary; but knowledge is of perpetual growth and has infinite demands.

    Isaac Disraeli, Benjamin Disraeli (Earl of Beaconsfield) (1858). “Curiosities of Literature”, p.392

  • Does not the passage of Moses and the Israelites into the Holy Land yield incomparably more poetic variety than the voyages of Ulysses or Aeneas?

    Bible   Yield   Aeneas

  • Weep for me, whoever has charity, truth and justice! I did not come on this voyage for gain, honor or wealth, that is certain; for then the hope of all such things was dead. I came to Your Highnesses with honest purpose and sincere zeal; and I do not lie. I humbly beseech Your Highnesses that, if it please God to remove me hence, you will help me to go to Rome and on other pilgrimages.
