“You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it.”
Neil Gaiman
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Steve Jobs
“A writer is rarely so well inspired as when he talks about himself”
Anatole France
“Talent alone cannot make a writer. There must be a man behind the book; a personality which, by birth and quality, is pledged to the doctrines there set forth, and which exists to see and state things so, and not otherwise.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“I write when I'm inspired, and I see to it that I'm inspired at nine o'clock every morning”
Peter De Vries
“The artist doesn't have time to listen to the critics. The ones who want to be writers read the reviews, the ones who want to write don't have the time to read reviews.”
William Faulkner
“Originality is nothing by judicious imitation. The most original writers borrowed one from another.”
Voltaire
