“One writes to make a home for oneself, on paper, in time and in others' minds.”
Alfred Kazin
“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
Ernest Hemingway
“It all has to do with art - writing, painting, things I've done for a long time but just never had enough time to pursue. I have poetry - things that are designed for songs, but they're always poems first.”
Jason Newsted

“Michael and I, to this day, stumble into things, ... We wrote a book on Elvis Presley together in the 1980s that became New York Times and London Times best-sellers. It was released on the 10th anniversary of Elvis' death. Everyone said 'How savvy the Sterns are.' Do you think we knew the significance of the date of release for the book when we were writing it? Not even.”
Michael Stern
“Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thin was changing what I demanded of myself. I wrote down all the things I would no longer accept in my life, all the things I would no longer tolerate, and all the things that I aspired to becoming.”
Anthony Robbins
“Substitute "damn" every time you're inclined to write "very"; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be”
Mark Twain
