“No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.”
― Robert Frost

“No passion in the world is equal to the passion to alter someone else's draft.”
― H. G. Wells

“Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.”
― Anton Chekhov

“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
