"The answers you get from literature depend upon the questions you pose."
Margaret Atwood
"A simple message, but on tough days worth remembering: don’t give up."
Joyce Carol Oates
"The need to know has taken me from coal mines to fire towers, to hillsides studded with agate, to a beached whale skeleton, to the sunny side of an iceberg, to museums of canoes and of windmills, to death masks with eyelashes stuck in the plaster, to shipyards and log yards, old military forts, wildfires and graffiti’d rocks, to rough water and rusty shipwrecks, to petroglyphs and prospectors’ diggings, to collapsed cotton gins, down into the caldera of an extinct volcano and, once or thrice in the middle distance, in view of a snouty twister."
Annie Proulx
"The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story."
Ursula K. Le Guin
"At every crucial time of our lives, at every despairing or difficult moment, at every crisis, there will be a poem to contain you, a poem to accompany you, a poem to understand you."
Jackie Kay
"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug."
Mark Twain
"My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way."
Ernest Hemingway
"I wear a hat or a very tightly pulled head tie when I write. I suppose I hope by doing that I will keep my brains from seeping out of my scalp and running in great gray blobs down my neck, into my ears, and over my face."
Maya Angelou
"Every writer I know has trouble writing."
Joseph Heller
"What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure."
Samuel Johnson
