"I was at this casino minding my own business, and this guy came up to me and said, "You're gonna have to move, you're blocking a fire exit." As though if there was a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you're flammible and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit."

My speech project was on writing, and this was most of what was on my poster:
i never think at all when i write
nobody can do two things at the same time
and do them both well
~Don Marquis, Archy's Life of Mehitabel, 1933
The writer writes in order to teach himself, to understand himself, to satisfy himself; the publishing of his ideas, though it brings gratification, is a curious anticlimax. ~Alfred Kazin, Think, February 1963
There are thousands of thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up the pen and writes. ~William Makepeace Thackeray
Every author in some way portrays himself in his works, even if it be against his will. ~Goethe
It is impossible to discourage the real writers - they don't give a damn what you say, they're going to write. ~Sinclair Lewis
The coroner will find ink in my veins and blood on my typewriter keys. ~C. Astrid Weber
If I'm trying to sleep, the ideas won't stop. If I'm trying to write, there appears a barren nothingness. ~Carrie Latet
What no wife of a writer can ever understand is that a writer is working when he's staring out of the window. ~Burton Rascoe
I am a man, and alive.... For this reason I am a novelist. And being a novelist, I consider myself superior to the saint, the scientist, the philosopher, and the poet, who are all great masters of different bits of man alive, but never get the whole hog. ~D.H. Lawrence, preface to Shestov, All Things Are Possible, 1938
What would there be in a story of happiness? Only what prepares it, only what destroys it can be told. ~André Gide
Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression. The chasm is never completely bridged. We all have the conviction, perhaps illusory, that we have much more to say than appears on the paper. ~Isaac Bashevis Singer
The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug. ~Mark Twain
So often is the virgin sheet of paper
more real than what one has to say,
and so often one regrets having marred it.
--Harold Acton, Memoirs of an Aesthete, 1948
You should see how pretty they were on the paper...sigh.

"Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it."
- C.S. Lewis

Substitute "damn" every time you're inclined to write "very;" your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be. ~Mark Twain
It is impossible to discourage the real writers - they don't give a damn what you say, they're going to write. ~Sinclair Lewis
(I kinda searched "damn" on the quotes page ><)
