“People ask me when I start one of these projects, what is your theme? I haven’t the faintest idea. That’s why you’re writing the book, it seems to me, to find out. To me, it’s a journey. It’s an adventure. It’s traveling in a country you’ve never been in and everything is going to be new, and because of that, vivid. And don’t make up your mind too soon. Let it be an experience.”
David McCullough
“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
Ernest Hemingway
“The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart.”
Maya Angelou
“Write without pay until somebody offers to pay”
Mark Twain
“If you would not be forgotton as soon as you are dead and rotten, Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”
Benjamin Franklin
“One writes to make a home for oneself, on paper, in time and in others' minds.”
Alfred Kazin
“Song writing is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed. You try to go to sleep, but the song won't let you. So you have to get up and make it into something, and then you're allowed to sleep.”
John Lennon
