Audrey Niffenegger
“When I am out there, in time, I am inverted, changed into a desperate version of myself. I become a thief, a vagrant, an animal who runs and hides. I startle old women and amaze children. I am a trick, an illusion of the highest order, so incredible that I am actually true.”
Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife

Anne Lamott
“Perfectionism is a mean, frozen form of idealism, while messes are the artist’s true friend.”
Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life

Natalie Goldberg
“It is very important to go home if you want your work to be whole. You don’t have to move in with your parents again and collect a weekly allowance, but you must claim where you come from and look deep into it. Come to honor and embrace it, or at the least, accept it.”
Natalie Goldberg, Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within

Anne Lamott
“I suspect that he was a child who thought differently than his peers, who may have had serious conversations with grown-ups, who as a young person, like me, accepted being alone quite a lot. I think that this sort of person often becomes either a writer or a career criminal.”
Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life

Natalie Goldberg
“This all happened fifteen years ago. A friend once told me: “Trust in love and it will take you where you need to go.” I want to add, “Trust in what you love, continue to do it, and it will take you where you need to go.” And don’t worry too much about security. You will eventually have a deep security when you begin to do what you want. How many of us with our big salaries are actually secure anyway?”
Natalie Goldberg, Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within
