It always comes down to characters, and individual stories about courage.

Steven Bochco

If you have an idea that you genuinely think is good, don’t let some idiot talk you out of it.

Stan Lee

If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it’s to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel.

Jim Morrison

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.

Oscar Wilde

The character that lasts is an ordinary guy with some extraordinary qualities.

Raymond Chandler

I haven’t got 10 rules that guarantee success, though I promise I’d share them if I did. The truth is that I found success by stumbling off alone in a direction most people thought was a dead end, breaking all the 1990s shibboleths about children’s books in the process.

J.K. Rowling

Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.

E. L. Doctorow

Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade, just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.

Truman Capote Quote

It begins with a character, usually, and once he stands up on his feet and begins to move, all I can do is trot along behind him with a paper and pencil, trying to keep up long enough to put down what he says and does.

William Faulkner

Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don’t see any.

Orson Scott Card

Good instincts usually tell you what to do long before your head has figured it out.

Michael Burke

It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn’t give it up because by that time I was too famous.

Robert Benchley

Critics are people who sit on the mountaintop and look down on the battlefield. When the fighting is finished, they take it upon themselves to come down from the mountain and shoot the survivors.

Robert Altman

There are three primal urges in human beings: Food, sex, and rewriting someone else’s play.

Romulus Linney

The reason 99% of all stories written are not bought by editors is very simple. Editors never buy manuscripts that are left on the closet shelf at home.

John Campbell

Stories are never too long or too short. They’re too interesting or too boring.

William Shawn

You can always edit a bad page. You can’t edit a blank page.

Jodi Picoult

Biography should be written by an acute enemy.

Arthur Balfour

A blank piece of paper is God’s way of telling us how hard it to be God.

Sidney Sheldon

I get up in the morning, torture a typewriter until it screams, then stop.
