Karl Ove Knausgaard:

“The only thing I have learned from life is to endure it, never to question it, and to burn up the longing generated by this in writing. Where this ideal has come from I have no idea, and as I now see it before me, in black and white, it almost seems perverse.”

Karl Ove Knausgaard

“Among the many worlds that man did not receive as a gift from nature but created out of his own mind, the world of books is the greatest… Without the word, without the writing of books, there is no history, there is no concept of humanity. And if anyone wants to try to enclose in a small space, in a single house or a single room, the history of the human spirit and to make it his own, he can only do this in the form of a collection of books.”

Hermann Hesse

“Writing is drawing the essence of what we know out of the shadows. That is what writing is about. Not what happens there, not what actions are played out there, but the there itself. There, that is writing's location and aim. But how to get there?”

-Karl Ove Knausgaard

“A book worth reading only in childhood, is not worth reading even then.”

Flash Fiction— Provocation:

“I recognized the truck immediately: baby blue wheel rims and upper portion, white below, late-‘50s or early-60s GMC. Good restoration, no two ways about that. Too bad for him, he picked a fight with me that night— and tried to steal Lucy— and I’m a crane operator, and don’t take such provocation lying down.”

David Foster Wallace:

“Good writing isn’t a science. It’s an art, and the horizon is infinite. You can always get better.”

“Read, read, read. Read everything - trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”

-William Faulkner

“My whole theory of writing I can sum up in one sentence. An author ought to write for the youth of his own generation, the critics of the next, and the schoolmasters of ever afterward.”

-F. Scott Fitzgerald

(Apparently, he wrote this somewhat jokingly for the Princeton school newspaper as a student— but he certainly lived up to its substance).
