Confucius quote: "Writing cannot express all words, words cannot encompass all..."
Writing cannot express all words, words cannot encompass all ideas. Confucius
Writing is an expression of the writer's own peculiar personality, could not help being so. Yet in reading great works one feels that the finished piece transcends the personal. All writers great and small must sometimes have felt that they have become part of what they wrote even more than it still remains a part of them. Eudora Welty
Warren Buffett quote: "Writing a check separates a commitment from a conversation."

Writing about the indignities of old age: the daunting stairway to the restaurant restroom, the benefits of a wheelchair in airports and its disadvantages at cocktail parties, giving the user what he described as a child's-eye view of the party and a crotch-level view of the guests.

No one should grow old who isn't ready to appear ridiculous. John Mortimer

Writing is not life, but I think that sometimes it can be a way back to life. Stephen King
Writing sometimes feels frivolous and sometimes sacred, but memory is one of my strongest muses. I serve her with my words. So long as people read, those we love survive however evanescently. As do we writers, saying with our life's work, Remember. Remember us. Remember me. Marge Piercy
Julia Cameron quote: "Writing is like breathing, it's possible to learn to do it..."
Writing is like breathing, it's possible to learn to do it well, but the point is to do it no matter what. Julia Cameron
Writing poetry is talking to oneself; yet it is a mode of talking to oneself in which the self disappears; and the product's something that, though it may not be for everybody, is about everybody. Richard Wilbur
Write without pay until someone offers pay. If nobody offers within three years, the candidate may look upon this as a sign that sawing wood is what he was intended for. Mark Twain
Brenda Ueland quote: "...writing is not a performance but a generosity."
...writing is not a performance but a generosity. Brenda Ueland
Write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open. Your stuff starts out being just for you, in other words, but then it goes out. Once you know what the story is and get it right? as right as you can, anyway? it belongs to anyone who wants to read it. Or criticize it. Stephen King

Writing is one of the ways I participate in transformation. Toni Cade Bambara
