Knowing how to dream is more important than the story, because the story tells itself.

It is futile to spend time telling stories about the fleetness of each day.

Many writers were better before they became famous.

The length of novels, poems and stories, is measured by the number of missing words; a thousand pages become one, one becomes a thousand.

We forget old stories, but those stories remain the same.

It is easy to arrange the words in a story born out of a dream; for a story without a dream, a story itself is not enough.
