 William Faulkner

The writer's only responsibility is to his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one. He has a dream. It anguishes him so much he must get rid of it. He has no peace until then.

I knew that fear was invented by someone that had never had the fear; pride, who never had the pride.
