Plot is, I think, the good writer’s last resort and the dullard’s first choice.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

My aim is to put down what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way I can tell it.

Ernest Hemingway

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

I don’t care if a reader hates one of my stories, just as long as he finishes the book.

Roald Dahl
