"Quotes" I Love

These are some of the many quotes I love!

"You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you" -Ray Bradbury

"And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt" -Sylvia Plath

"What I like in a good author is not what he says, but what he whispers" -Logan Pearsall Smith, "All Trivia," Afterthoughts, 1931

"The time to begin writing an article is when you have finished it to your satisfaction. By that time you begin to clearly and logically perceive what it is you really want to say" -Mark Twain

"Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart" -William Wordsworth

"I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions" -James Michener

"A critic can only review the book he has read, not the one which the writer wrote" -Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960
