Dignity
“If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water.”–Ernest Hemingway
Dishes
“The best time to plan a book is while you are doing the dishes.”–Agatha Christie
Writing
“I write by hand, making many, many corrections. I would say I cross out more than I write. I have to hunt for words when I speak, and I have the same difficulty when writing.”–Italo Calvino
