Quotes I like!

Don’t Bail: the best writing is at the bottom of the barrels of crap.

 

It is not how much we do but how much love we put in the doing.
It is not how much we give but how much love we put in the giving.
- Mother Teresa

 

People always say follow your dream.
But first you have to wake up.  
-
Bill Cosby

 

I turn sentences around.
That’s my life.
I write a sentence and then I turn it around.
Then I look at it and I turn it around again.
Then I have lunch.
Then I come back in and write another sentence.
Then I have tea and turn the new sentence around. 

- Philip Roth

 

Great writing is unnatural. It is not simply a gift.
It is not genetic…
It is a talent, and that talent is not given or taken.
Talent is earned, through dedication, hunger and care.
