It's what all writers dream of, that our work finds a measure of immortality that long outlives the words of any critic.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
No writer, no matter how gifted, immortalizes himself unless he has crystallized into expressive and original phrase the eternal sentiments and yearnings of the human heart.
Every writer secretly hopes that what he or she has written will endure.
Our current obsession with creativity is the result of our continued striving for immortality in an era when most people no longer believe in an after-life.
Immortality is a by-product of good work.
To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams.
It's a luxury being a writer, because all you ever think about is life.
What we have as artists is the immortalization opportunity that others don't have, because our work is lasting; it's there forever to view.
Once writing has become your major vice and greatest pleasure, only death can stop it.
I do not want to have the feeling of writing 'for eternity', so to speak.
I don't think anything you've written is immortal as yet.
