The purpose of literature is to turn blood into ink.
"To write is to embark on a journey without knowing the destination."
"Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home."
The book is not an end in itself, it is a means of evocation.
We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love... and then we return home.
The truth about the world is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is. A hat trick in a medicine show. A fevered dream. A trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent. An itinerant carnival. A migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.
The purpose of fiction is to take you out of your own life and make you aware of other lives.
The function of freedom is to free someone else.
The journey is more important than the destination.
The purpose of our lives is to be happy.
I'm a woman on a mission, and I won't stop until I achieve it.
Happiness is not a destination, it's a way of life.
Success is not about the destination, it's about the journey.
Success is a journey, not a destination.
The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
