More From Andre Gide

He who always seeks more light the more he finds, and finds more the more he seeks, is one of the few happy mortals who take and give in every point of time. the tide and ebb of giving and receiving is the sum of human happiness, which he alone enjoys who always wishes to acquire new knowledge, and always finds it.
Light Giving Wish
Well, you could almost say, i suppose, that the scientist seeks what is similar between any two days, or bluebirds, or glaciers. and the poet seeks what is different. the artist seeks to celebrate the unique.
Artist Unique Two
In intercourse with scholars and artists one readily makes mistakes of opposite kinds: in a remarkable scholar one not infrequently finds a mediocre man; and often, even in a mediocre artist, one finds a very remarkable man.
Mistake Artist Men
Our technological society has no longer any place in it for wisdom that seeks truth for its own sake, that seeks the fullness of being, that seeks to rest in an intuition of the very ground of all being. without wisdom, the apparent opposition of action and contemplation, of work and rest, of involvement and detachment, can never be resolved.
Truth Intuition Sake
It is not given to man to know the whole truth. his duty lies in living up to the truth as he sees it, and in doing so, to resort to the purest means, i.e., to non-violence. god alone knows absolute truth. therefore, i have often said, truth is god. it follows that man, a finite being, cannot know absolute truth. nobody in this world possesses absolute truth. this is god's attribute alone. relative truth is all we know. therefore, we can only follow the truth as we see it. such pursuit of truth cannot lead anyone astray.
Truth Lying Mean
Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. fellow creators the creator seeks -- those who write new values on new tablets. companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest.

I've wanted to be a writer since i was a boy, though it seemed an unlikely outcome since i showed no real talent. but i persevered and eventually found my own row to hoe. ignorance of other writers' work keeps me from discouragement and i am less well-read than the average bus driver.

I'm not typing. i write only by longhand. i've always written first drafts by hand and then once i was into a second or third draft i wrote insert pages on a typewriter. but i got rid of all my typewriters about three or four novels ago and now i do everything by hand. i write by hand because it makes me go slow and going slow is what i like.
