Live, Love, Say It Well.

Ryan Sheffield's collection of writers' quotes on Etsy is so rich and well-curated, I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites. I love Nabokov's line about a scientific imagination, and Bukowski's thoughts on art and tacos, but the best of the best might be this one from Denis Johnson, whose book Jesus' Son I read last summer and loved: "English words are like prisms. Empty, nothing inside, and still they make rainbows."

  6. Bukowski is my favorite! I wish I could've met him. I have a thing for older people who are assholes. And I mean that as a compliment.

    The F. Scott Fitzgerald one is perfect, and just what I needed to hear today!
