Anatole France quote: "All the good writers of confessions, from Augustine onwards,..."
All the good writers of confessions, from Augustine onwards, are men who are still a little in love with their sins. Anatole France
Everything I have written up to now is trifling compared to that which I would like to write and would write with great pleasure...Either I am a fool and a self-conceited person, or I am a being capable of becoming a good writer; I am displeased and bored with everything now being written, while everything in my head interests, moves, and excites me--whence I draw the conclusion that no one is doing what is needed, and I alone know the secret of how it should be done. In all likelihood... Anton Chekhov
Neil Gaiman quote: "To be a good writer . . . "read alot and write every day"
To be a good writer . . . "read alot and write every day Neil Gaiman

Ernest Hemingway quote: "The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in,..."
The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in, shockproof, shit detector. Ernest Hemingway
But I gotta tell you, I just think to look across this room and automatically assume that somebody else is less aware than me, or that somehow their interior life is less rich and complicated and acutely perceived than mine, makes me not a good writer. Because that means I'm going to be performing for a faceless audience instead of trying to have a conversation with a person. David Foster Wallace
The things that make you a functional citizen in society - manners, discretion, cordiality - don't necessarily make you a good writer. Writing needs raw truth, wants your suffering and darkness on the table, revels in a cutting mind that takes no prisoners... Natalie Goldberg
Imagination? It is the one thing beside honesty that a good writer must have. The more he learns from experience the more he can imagine. Ernest Hemingway
