Andrea Barrett, on writing:


I've never known a writer who didn't feel ill at ease in the world.
We all feel unhoused in some sense.
That's part of why we write.
We feel we don't fit in, that this world is not our world, that though we may move in it, were not of it.
You don't need to write a novel if you feel at home in the world.

Meg Cabot, on writing:


Write the kind of story you would like to read.
People will give you all sorts of advice about writing,
but if you are not writing something you like,
no one else will like it either.

Harper Lee, on writing:


I would advise anyone who aspires to a writing career that,
before developing his talent,
he would be wise to develop a thick hide.

- Harper Lee.

Howard Jacobson, on writing:


When people speak to me of the torment of writing, I can think only of what it was like before I wrote:
once writing meant writing and not thinking about writing, I knew nothing of any torment.

Wisdom:


Meditate.
Live purely.
Be quiet.
Do your work with mastery.
Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds!
Shine.

- Buddha.
