Writers On Writing
Here’s a collection of inspiring, Pinterest-worthy, illustrated quotes on writing by writers. I add to these periodically.
“Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.” ~Scott Adams
“Writing is both mask and unveiling.” ~E.B. White
“All the elements of good writing depend on the writer’s skill in choosing one word instead of another.” ~ Francine Prose
“Good writers are those who keep the language efficient. That is to say, keep it accurate, keep it clear.” ~Ezra Pound
“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.” ~Mark Twain
“Everywhere I go I’m asked if I think the university stifles writers. My opinion is that they don’t stifle enough of them.” ~Flannery O’Connor
“Words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling like dew upon a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.” ~Lord Byron
“The reason one writes isn’t the fact he wants to say something. He writes because he has something to say.” ~F. Scott Fitzgerald
