Today's Words of Wisdom - August 18, 2015

Today is the birthday of the following people:



Alain Robbe-Grillet (1922 – 2008):
“The true writer has nothing to say. What counts is the way he says it.”

and
“The world is neither meaningful, nor absurd. it quite simply is, and that, in any case, is what is so remarkable about it.”



Meriwether Lewis (1774 -1809):
I could but esteem this moment of my departure as among the most happy of my life.”




Brian W. Aldiss (1925 - ):
“There are two kinds of writer: those that make you think, and those that make you wonder.”

and
“Science fiction is no more written for scientists than ghost stories are written for ghosts.”

and

“A writer should say to himself, not, How can I get more money?, but How can I reach more readers (without lowering standards)?”
