Act of Writing
"The act of writing is an act of optimism. You would not take the trouble to do it if you felt it didn't matter."
~ Edward Albee
Capacity to Astonish
"The important thing in writing is the capacity to astonish. Not shock—shock is a worn-out word—but astonish. The world has no grounds whatever for complacency. The Titanic couldn't sink, but it did. Where you find smugness, you find something worth blasting. I want to blast it."
~ Terry Southern
Ideal Conditions
"A writer who waits for ideal conditions
under which to work will die
without putting a word to paper."
~ E. B. White
