If you haven't got a wastepaper basket full of rejected pages at the end of each day, then what you are writing is probably not worth reading.
W. Somerset Maugham.
"To be or not to be, this is the question!"
This quote is not concerned with literature or literary expression, as it is with general life style, but I my self face this piquent situation, when ever I had to write or I wanna write as I am always short of time, and that is not the only reason for putting this quote here, as I did not think much as it is my first post and I wanna check if it can really be posted or not.......

Full of sound and fury
signifying nothing"

And, Gods, to love - what ecstasy!

senhor jose looks again at what is written on the card, the handwriting, needles to say, is not his, it's an old-fashioned hand, thirty-six years ago another clerk wrote the words you can read here, the name of the baby girl, the names of her parents and god-parents, the date and hour of her birth, the street and the number of of the apartment where she first saw the light of day and first felt pain, the same beginning as everyone else, the differences, great and small, come later, some of those who are born become entries in encyclopedias, in history books, in biographies, in catalogues, in manuals, in collections of newspaper clippings, the others, roughly speaking, are like a cloud that passes without leaving behind it any trace of its passing, and if rain fell from that cloud, it did not even wet the earth.

We dare not because it is difficult. Rather, it is difficult because we dare not.
