  • CHARLES DICKENS-AUTHOR (DAVID COPPERFIELD)

    Mr. Micawber’s answer expressed the disturbance of his mind. He said, shaking hands with me, ‘Copperfield, you are a true friend; but when the worst comes to the worst, no man is without a friend who is possessed of shaving materials.’

  • James Fenimore Cooper -diary note

    "Saturday, January 1st, 1848. — Read St. John. No church. Weather very mild, though snow fell in the night. Walking very bad, and I paid no visits out of the family. Had ***, ***, ***, ***, and ***, at dinner. A very merry evening with the young people. Played chess with my wife. Wrote a little in 'Oak Openings' to begin the year with."

  • W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

    “There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.”

  • DANIEL BOONE

    "I can't say as ever I was lost, but I was bewildered once for three days."

  • BEN JOHNSON-Cowboy Actor

    "I don't have to say four letter words around women and kids to make myself a name."

  • ROBERT FROST

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

  • LOUIS L’ AMOUR

    “Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.”

  • HERMAN MELVILLE—AUTHOR (MOBY DICK)

    “To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on the flea, though many there be that have tried it.”

  • KENNETH ROBERTS-NORTHWEST PASSAGE

    She turned to Sam. “An artist needs encouragement, Mr. Livermore. If he’s a good artist, he’s never satisfied with what he does. He’s forever doing over and doing over, and feeling uncertain about what he’s done; so he oughtn’t to have worries over and above his work. What he most needs is peace of mind—and I’ve done all I could to see that Langdon had it.”
    Anne Towne, wife of Langdon Towne

    “If being a writer should make you happy- revel in it, love it, but never forget that for the most part, WRITING  is soul-sucking, time-consuming hard work!”
