~ J. B. PriestleyMuch of writing might be described as mental pregnancy with successive difficult deliveries. -
~ Alexander PopeTrue ease in writing comes from art, not chance, As those move easiest who have learned to dance. Alexander Pope -

~ Joan DidionWriting is the act of saying I, of imposing oneself upon other people, of saying listen to me, see it my way, change your mind. It's an aggressive, even a hostile act. -
