"But Undocumented Immigrants Are Breaking The Law."

Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.

Graham Greene, Ways Of Escape (via the-book-diaries)

You do not write your life with words…You write it with actions. What you think is not important. It is only important what you do.

Patrick Ness, A Monster Calls (via the-book-diaries)

You are still yourself in everything except your appearance. You’ve still got your own mind and your own brain and your own voice, and thank goodness for that.

Then I can breathe, and can think while others are sleeping, in a way can stop time, can have it so – this has always been my dream – so that while everyone else is frozen, I can work busily about them, doing whatever it is that needs to be done, like the elves who make the shoes while children sleep.

Dave Eggers, A Heartbreaking Work of a Staggering Genius (via the-book-diaries)
