Quotations

"To idealize: all writing is a campaign against cliché. Not just clichés of the pen but clichés of the mind and clichés of the heart. When I dispraise, I am usually quoting clichés. When I praise, I am usually quoting the opposed qualities of freshness, energy, and reverberation of voice."
Martin Amis
Introduction, The War Against Cliché

"If you don't have the time to read, you don't have the time or the tools to write."
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
