Brené Brown
“Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage.”
Brene Brown, Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead

Stephen  King
“Only God gets it right the first time and only a slob says, "Oh well, let it go, that's what copyeditors are for.”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“…[A] copyeditor must read the document letter by letter, word by word, with excruciating care and attentiveness. In many ways, being a copyeditor is like sitting for an English exam that never ends: At any moment, your knowledge of spelling, grammar, punctuation, usage, syntax, and diction is being tested.”
Amy Einsohn, The Copyeditor's Handbook: A Guide for Book Publishing and Corporate Communications, with Exercises and Answer Keys

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Be a good editor. The Universe needs more good editors, God knows.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Letters

Daphne du Maurier
“But luxury has never appealed to me, I like simple things, books, being alone, or with somebody who understands.”
Daphne du Maurier
