“I enjoy looking at beautiful people, and I decided a while ago not to deny myself the simpler pleasures of existence.”

“Treat writing as a job. Be disciplined. Lots of writers get a bit OCD-ish about this. Graham Greene famously wrote 500 words a day. Jean Plaidy managed 5,000 before lunch, then spent the afternoon answering fan mail. My minimum is 1,000 words a day - which is sometimes easy to achieve, and is sometimes, frankly, like shitting a brick, but I will make myself stay at my desk until I’ve got there, because I know that by doing that I am inching the book forward. Those 1,000 words might well be rubbish - they often are. But then, it is always easier to return to rubbish words at a later date and make them better.”
— Sarah Waters (via writingquotes)
“And people take [fashion] seriously, to a certain extent. It’s the idea that, yes, smart people think about this and smart people are allowed to think about it. And there is legitimacy in talking about it. It’s not just for stupid fluffy people.”
— Vanessa Friedman, Fashion Director of the Financial Times (via antevorta)
