F. Scott Fitzgerald

It is perfectly okay to write garbage — as long as you edit brilliantly.

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

Ever heard of a carpenter not going to work because he has “carpenter’s block”? If a writer can’t write, it’s because he doesn’t really want to, he isn’t ready to get it on paper or he’s just plain lazy.

Chet Cunningham

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

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