What people are ashamed of usually makes a good story. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Novels are not about expressing yourself, they’re about something beautiful, funny, clever and organic. Self-expression? Go and ring a bell in the yard if you want to express yourself. Zadie Smith
Four basic premises of writing: clarity, brevity, simplicity and humanity. William Zinsser
Making a decision to write was a lot like deciding to jump into a frozen lake. Maya Angelou
I think that science fiction, even the corniest of it, even the most outlandish of it, no matter how badly it’s written, has a distinct theraputic value because all of it has as its primary postulate that the world does change. Robert Heinlein
