― Jay Asher, Thirteen Reasons Why

“You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.”
― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

“It would be better to give up the notion of writing until you are better prepared. Now it's time to be living. I don't want to frighten you, but I would like to make you understand the import of what you think of attempting. You must not become a mere peddler of words. The thing to learn is to know what people are thinking about, not what they say.”
― Sherwood Anderson, Winesburg, Ohio

“If people did not want their stories told, it would be better for them to keep away from me.”
― Sherwood Anderson
