Quote by Max Jacob

“Je regarde à travers mes pleurs. Ici la mort a pour voisine la croissance des palmiers nains : Ton corbillard, ô ma Delphine ! n'est qu'un oiseau des boulingrins. Quand je fus fatigué de larmes, las des voyages et malheurs, un coin de violettes de Parme avança le pied du Seigneur.”

“I do not admire Flaubert, yet when I am told that by his own admission all he hoped to accomplish in in Salammbo was to 'give the impression of the color yellow' and in Madame Bovary 'to do something that would have the color of those mouldy cornices that harbor wood lice' and that he cared for nothing else, such generally extra-literary preoccupations leave me anything but indifferent.”

None of that makes a difference if you don't WRITE something people want to READ. The greatest editor in the world won't make your book a best seller if it isn't something people care about. So forget all of the fluff that clouds your purpose... writing!!”

“Excitement is simple: excitement is a situation, a single event. It mustn't be wrapped up in thoughts, similes, metaphors. A simile is a form of reflection, but excitement is of the moment when there is no time to reflect. Action can only be expressed by a subject, a verb and an object, perhaps rhythm -- little else. Even an adjective slows the pace or tranquilizes the nerve.”
