*For a long time now I have tried simply to write the best I can. Sometimes I have good luck and write better than I can.

*There is no rule on how to write. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly; sometimes it's like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges.

*It's none of their business that you have to learn how to write. Let them think you were born that way.

~Ernest Hemingway

The only sensible ends of literature are, first, the pleasurable toil of writing; second, the gratification of one's family and friends; and lastly, the solid cash.

~Nathaniel Hawthorne

Nothing stinks like a pile of unpublished writing.

~Sylvia Plath

I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.

~Edgar Allan Poe
