"The writer of originality, unless dead, is always shocking, scandalous; novelty disturbs and repels."
"None of my art is based on how others think i should have done it."
"Originals cost more than imitations."
"Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague."

"No poet or novelist wishes he were the only one who ever lived, but most of them wish they were the only one alive, and quite a number fondly believe their wish has been granted."
"The most important trait of a writer is an authentic voice. Writers have to have faith in their own voice, and their own way of doing things. Originality is the gem that every writer possesses. Originality also brings on the most merciless attacks. The world resents originality in the beginning writer, and then rewards it abundantly once that writer has been successfully published. Cherish your own voice. Don't try to sound like anybody else. Sound like yourself and take the slings and arrows and keep going."
"I give no sources, because it is indifferent to mewhether what I have thought has already beenthought before me by another."

"Christianity is not a doctrine, I mean, a theory about what has happened and will happen to the human soul, but a description of something that actually takes place in human life. For 'consciousness of sin' is a real event an so are despair and salvation through faith. Those who speak of such things (Bunyan for instance) are simply describing what has happened to them, whatever gloss anyone may want to put on it."

"If you already have a person's love no sacrifice can be too much to give for it, but any sacrifice is too great to buy it for you."
"The agreement or disagreement or its sense with reality constitutes its truth or falsity."
"The great delusion of modernity, is that the laws of nature explain the universe for us. The laws of nature describe the universe, they describe the regularities. But they explain nothing."
"We regard the photograph, the picture on our wall, as the object itself (the man, landscape, and so on) depicted there. This need not have been so. We could easily imagine people who did not have this relation to such pictures. Who, for example, would be repelled by photographs, because a face without color and even perhaps a face in reduced proportions struck them as inhuman."
"Philosophy should make clear and delimit sharply the thoughts which otherwise are, as it were, opaque and blurred."
"Some people's taste is to an educated taste as is the visual impression received by a purblind eye to that of a normal eye. Where a normal eye will see something clearly articulated, a weak eye will see a blurred patch of colour."
"One of the most misleading representational techniques in our language is the use of the word 'I.'"
