Journal

Famous quotes containing the word journal:

“I think this journal will be disadvantageous for me, for I spend my time now like a spider spinning my own entrails.”
—Mary Bokin Chesnut (1823–1886)

—Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)

“After the writer’s death, reading his journal is like receiving a long letter.”
