“A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.”
G. K. Chesterton
“No one is asking, let alone demanding, that you write. The world is not waiting with bated breath for your article or book. Whether or not you get a single word on paper, the sun will rise, the earth will spin, the universe will expand. Writing is forever and always a choice — your choice.”
Beth Mende Conny
“Success comes to a writer, as a rule, so gradually that it is always something of a shock to him to look back and realize the heights to which he has climbed.”
P.G. Wodehouse
“It’s an adrenaline surge rushing through your body. You have this spark of an idea that keeps threatening to burst into flames and you have to get the words out on paper to match this emotion or picture in your head. After this comes the work of cleaning up the mess that you made.”
Janet West
“We write to taste life twice.”
Anais Nin
“It is with words as with sunbeams. The more they are condensed, the deeper they burn.”
Robert Southey
