Memento Mori - Remember that you will die. Time is an amusing thing. Three minutes standing in front of the microwave oven, waiting for our lunch, seem like an eternity. Yet days and months can pass in blink, without leaving any trace behind. Therefore, people like us write. In this collection of articles, you will find thoughts, stories, and some lessons I learned here and there over the years. Most of the time, they will be light-hearted. I hope that you will find something useful here. Or at least some amusement.

This is a collection of plenty of quotes from famous writers/authors. These quotes are mostly about writing. I collect them because I'm a beginner in writing stories and I find some really inspiring. It helps me to not give up and continue despite the hardships I face. If you need any tips, pieces of advice, ideas, inspiration, motivation, encouragement, and support, then these renowned writers will guide you in your writing journey. Share! It's for everyone! "If they won't write the kind of book we like to read, we shall have to write them ourselves." - C.S Lewis "The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never any use to oneself." - Oscar Wilde "A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it isn't open." - Frank Kafka [Completed: January 16th 2017.] © 2017 Mabel Akins. No Rights Reserved.

For the perplexity of life. Because each person is leading its own life. You'll see how different a minute can be for another. How easily and carelessly someone can spend it. Or how difficult it is to survive it for someone else. Or how meaningless and blank it is for others. Because dear readers we're going to travel to people's mind. Fasten your belts! ____________________________________ *AN: I'm a beginner and English is not my mother tongue. Please feel free to point out my mistakes. I'll appreciate the attention.
