"Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it." C. S. Lewis

What every writer should memorize.

"Genius is only the power of making continuous efforts. The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it...how many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little effort, a little more patience, would have achieved success? As the tide goes out, so it comes in...a little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn into success. There is no failure except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of hope."---Elbert Hubard.
