“Description begins in the writer’s imagination, but should finish in the reader’s. When it comes to actually pulling this off, the writer is much more fortunate than the filmmaker, who is almost always doomed to show too much  . . . . including, in nine cases out of ten, the zipper running up the monster’s back.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“Language does not always have to wear a tie and lace-up shoes. The object of fiction isn’t grammatical correctness but to make the reader welcome and then tell a story  . . . . to make him/her forget, whenever possible, that he/she is reading a story at all.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“The universe is not made up of atoms; it’s made up of tiny stories.”
― Joseph Gordon-Levitt, The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories, Vol. 1

“Let me keep my distance, always, from those
who think they have the answers.

Let me keep company always with those who say
"Look!" and laugh in astonishment,
and bow their heads.”
― Mary Oliver, Evidence: Poems
