“I always wrote. I wrote from when I was 12. That was therapeutic for me in those days. I wrote things to get them out of feeling them, and onto paper. So writing in a way saved me, kept me company. I did the traditional thing with falling in love with words, reading books and underlining lines I liked and words I didn’t know.”- Carrie Fisher
“I do not wish to comment on the work; if it does not speak for itself, it is a failure.” – George Orwell
“I always had plenty of ideas. I didn’t exactly have them. They grew—little by little, a half an idea at a time. First, part of a phrase and then a person to go with it. After a person, then a little corner of a place for the person to be in.”- Carol Emshwiller, Report to the Men’s Club and Other Stories
“Silence is a cage. These words are my wings.” -Jenim Dibie
“The childhood of a spoiled prince could be framed within half a page, a moonlit dash through sleepy villages was one rhythmically emphatic sentence, falling in love could be achieved in a single word – a glance. The pages of a recently finished story seemed to vibrate in her hand with all the life they contained.”- Ian McEwan, Atonement
“So that’s the dissenter’s hope: that they are writing not for today but for tomorrow.”- Ruth Bader Ginsburg
“Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers.”-Isaac Asimov
