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

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

Christopher Hampton

Douglas Adams

Zadie Smith

Michael Crichton

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

Jim Morrison

It is only natural to pattern yourself after someone. But you can’t just copy someone. If you like someone’s work, the important thing is to be exposed to everything that person has been exposed to.

Bob Dylan

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

Clarence Budington Kelland

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

William Shawn

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.
