“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.”
― Henry David Thoreau

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
― William Faulkner

“It was up to him to pay back to the world in beauty and caring what Leslie had loaned him in vision and strength.”
― Katherine Paterson, Bridge to Terabithia

“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.”
― Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums
