Quotes about writing

I like a good quote. It’s even better if the person to whom the quote is attributed is recognizable. Now, that shouldn’t matter if it’s a really good quote. But, I admit I have seen quotes I liked and then saw it was a no-name person (or worse yet a Non Name) and thought, I guess I’ll pass on that one. Meaning, I paused for a brief moment to ponder the quote but did not pass it on to anyone else or make a note of it. What a shame. I should have researched that person to figure out who came up with such a great quote.

I came across a list of writing quotes and a few stood out to me
