"Paper has more patience than people...." - Quote by Anne Frank

“Everyone thinks I'm showing off when I talk, ridiculous when I'm silent, insolent when I answer, cunning when I have a good idea, lazy when I'm tired, selfish when I eat one bite more than I should.”

“No one ever was the poorer for giving”

“Ordinary people simply don't know what books mean to us, shut up here. Reading, learning, and the radio are our amusements.”

“Be patient where you sit in the dark. The dawn is coming”

“We are independent of the change we detect. The longer the lever, the less perceptible its motion. It is the slowest pulsation which is the most vital. The hero then will know how to wait, as well as to make haste. All good abides with him who waiteth wisely; we shall sooner overtake the dawn by remaining here than by hurrying over the hills of the west.”

“I'm patient.”

“Let the world burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper.”

“The answer to all writing, to any career for that matter, is love.”

“I decided that was the greatest idea I had ever heard. I started writing every day. I never stopped.”
