The writer who
cares more about words than about story – characters, action, setting,
atmosphere – is unlikely to create a vivid and
continuous dream; he gets in his own way too much; in his poetic drunkenness,
he can't tell the cart – and its cargo – from
the horse.

author.

An idea that is
not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all.

Everything that
doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. And later on you can use it in some story.
