two quotes on writing

A novel will be the higher and nobler the more inner and less outer life it depicts… The art lies in setting the inner life into the most violent motion with the smallest possible expenditure of outer life: for it is the inner life which is the real object of our interest. – The task of the novelist is not to narrate great events but to make small ones interesting.

Arthur Schoepenhauer

Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter

Revelation 1:19
