The best stories don’t come from good vs. bad but from good vs. good. Leo Tolstoy
Four basic premises of writing: clarity, brevity, simplicity and humanity. William Zinsser
First rule [of writing]: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college. Kurt Vonnegut
The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think. Edwin Schlossberg
