Open this notebook every day and write down half a page at the very least. If you have nothing to write down, then at least, following Gogolâs advice, write down that today thereâs nothing to write. Always write with attention and look on writing as a holiday. Votes: 3
Is there anything on earth which would have meaning and would even change the course of events not only on earth, but in other worlds?â I asked my teacher. âThere is,â my teacher answered me. âWell, what is it?â I asked. âItâs...â began my teacher and suddenly fell silent.

There lived a redheaded man who had no eyes or ears. He didnât have hair either, so he was called a redhead arbitrarily. He couldnât talk because he had no mouth. He had no nose either. He didnât even have arms or legs. He had no stomach, he had no back, he had no spine, and he had no innards at all. He didnât have anything. So we donât even know who weâre talking about. Itâs better that we donât talk about him any more. Votes: 0
