In dread fear of sentimentality, another thing true is not said-that for its staff the paper is a source of pride and, I do believe, an object of affection and-yes, love.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What the world really needs is more love and less paper work.
I'm lucky because the strongest emotion I have ever felt is being in love, and that definitely informs my writing.
I've seen the people who talk about their love lives in print invariably have doomed relationships with the person they're talking about.
So often is the virgin sheet of paper more real than what one has to say, and so often one regrets having marred it.
The thing that teases the mind over and over for years, and at last gets itself put down rightly on paper - whether little or great, it belongs to Literature.
I love people. Everybody. I love them, I think, as a stamp collector loves his collection. Every story, every incident, every bit of conversation is raw material for me.
A love of books, of holding a book, turning its pages, looking at its pictures, and living its fascinating stories goes hand-in-hand with a love of learning.
The thing that teases the mind over and over for years, and at last gets itself put down rightly on paper whether little or great, it belongs to Literature.
For me, writing is a love-hate relationship.
Only on paper has humanity yet achieved glory, beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and abiding love.
