Stephen  King
“I am, when you stop to think of it, a member of a fairly select group: the final handful of American novelists who learned to read and write before they learned to eat a daily helping of video bullshit. This might not be important. On the other hand, if you’re just starting out as a writer, you could do worse than strip your television’s electric plug-wire, wrap a spike around it, and then stick it back into the wall. See what blows, and how far. Just an idea.”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

Adelle Waldman
“At that moment in her life, Elisa was, he realized, almost pathologically attracted not to status or money or good looks but to literary and intellectual potential.”
Adelle Waldman, The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P.

Todd Henry
“A compelling, authentic voice is rooted in a strong sense of identity.”
Todd Henry, Louder than Words: Harness the Power of Your Authentic Voice

Dani Shapiro
“I couldn’t write. I grew tense. I was strangled by my own ego, by my petty desire for what I perceived to be the literary brass ring. I was missing the point, of course. The reward is in the doing.”
Dani Shapiro, Still Writing: The Pleasures and Perils of a Creative Life

Madeline Miller
“I would say, some people are like constellations that only touch the earth for a season.”
Madeline Miller, Circe
