“Whenever there's something wrong with your writing, suspect that there's something wrong with your thinking.”
Patricia T. O'Conner, Words Fail Me: What Everyone Who Writes Should Know about Writing

Louise Brooks
“Writing is 1 percent inspiration, and 99 percent elimination.”
Louise Brooks

Stephen  King
“This is a short book because most books about writing are filled with bullshit. Fiction writers, present company included, don't understand very much about what they do -- not why it works when it's good, not why it doesn't when it's bad. I figured the shorter the book, the less bullshit."
Stephen King, On Writing
Stephen King

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“They think that intelligence is about noticing things are relevant (detecting patterns); in a complex world, intelligence consists in ignoring things that are irrelevant (avoiding false patterns)”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb

“People who cannot distinguish between good and bad language, or who regard the distinction as unimportant, are unlikely to think carefully about anything else.”
B. R. Myers
