I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Underlined passage, In Dreams Begin Responsibilities and Other Stories by Delmore Schwartz.

[am-i-the-last-romantic]

There is that great proverb—that until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter…Once I realized that, I had to be a writer… It’s not one person’s job. But it is something we have to do, so that the story of the hunt will also reflect the agony, the travail—the bravery, even, of the lions.

Chinua Achebe

“Do not despair. I know you will not despair. You have a manly and a proud heart. A proud heart can survive a general failure because such a failure does not prick its pride. It is more difficult and more bitter when a man fails alone.”  Chinua Achebe, Things Fall Apart

[am-i-the-last-romantic]

For a true writer each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment. He should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed. Then sometimes, with great luck, he will succeed.

Ernest Hemingway (via mttbll)

[am-i-the-last-romantic]

Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape?…If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!

J.R.R. Tolkien (via unicornsareblue)

[am-i-the-last-romantic]

Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly.

Cornelia Funke, Inkheart (via gildings)
