*not accepting translations*

''If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.'' (Anaïs Nin)

"I wanted to write literature that pushed people into their lives rather than helping people escape from them."(Harvey Pekar)

"However, I continue to try and I continue, indefatigably, to reach out. There's no way I can single-handedly save the world or, perhaps, even make a perceptible difference - but how ashamed I would be to let a day pass without making one more effort." (Isaac Asimov)
