If you start with a bang, you won’t end with a whimper.

T.S. Eliot

No one can write decently who is distrustful of the reader’s intelligence or whose attitude is patronizing.

E. B. White

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

Sidney Sheldon

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

Editor: A person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to see that the chaff is printed.

Elbert Hubbard

Substitute “damn” every time you’re inclined to write “very”; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.

Mark Twain

Reading and weeping opens the door to one’s heart, but writing and weeping opens the window to one’s soul.

M. K. Simmons

Read a thousand books and your words will flow like a river.

Lisa See

Just don’t be boring!

Robert Liebmann

Michael Crichton

I’m writing a book. I’ve got the page numbers done.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr

Robert Benchley

Do you know what a playwright is? A playwright is someone who lets his guts hang out on the stage.

Edward Albee

Do not place a photograph of your favorite author on your desk, especially if the author is one of the famous ones who committed suicide.

Roddy Doyle

Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don’t feel I should be doing something else.

Gloria Steinem

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

Steven Bochco

Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost how it feels about dogs.

Christopher Hampton

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

Michael Burke

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.
