Some of my favorite quotes on Writing

“The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something, and tell what it saw in a plain way.” – John Ruskin

“Even before I knew how to read and write, I made up stories.” – Beverly Barton

“As writers, we have to train ourselves to notice what is around us, and understand how it relates to the world.” – Andrew Mc Aleer

“Reading great fiction is like taking a writing workshop from a master for free.” – Cinda Williams Chima

“When you sell a man a book, you don’t sell just 12 ounces of paper and ink and glue, you sell him a whole new life.  Love and friendship and humor and ships at sea by night.  There’s all heaven and earth in a book.” – Christopher MorleyIMG_5657
