“Tears are words that need to be written.”

“Sometimes words need music too. Sometimes the descriptions are not enough. Books should be written with soundtracks, like films.”

“Poetry is written with tears, fiction with blood, and history with invisible ink.”

“True confessions are written with tears only. But my tears would drown the world, as my inner fire would reduce it to ashes.”

“Tell me what you need."
"You," she said simply, that one word tearing to the very heart of him. "Just you.”

“Words that weep and tears that speak.”

“I've written this to keep from crying. But I am crying, only the tears won't come.”

“Before one is successful that is before any one is ready to pay money for anything you do then you are certain that every word you have written is an important word to have written and that any word you have written is as important as any other word and you keep everything you have written with great care.”

“I am reminded again that the greatest phrase ever written is words, words, words.”

“But there was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer.”
