Famous quotes containing the word journal:

    “The Journal is not essentially a confession, a story about oneself. It is a Memorial. What does the writer have to remember? Himself, who he is when he is not writing, when he is living his daily life, when he alive and real, and not dying and without truth.”
    —Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
