En del roliga och intressanta citat om skrivande:

Abraham Lincoln, in a book review
"People who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like."

Anonymous
"Write a wise saying and your name will live forever"

Arthur Evans
"Nothing, not love, not greed, not passion or hatred, is stronger than a 
writer's need to change another writer's copy."

Bobby Knight
"All of us learn to write in the second grade. Most of us go on to greater 
things."

Carl Sagan
"All of the books in the world contain no more information than is
broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year. Not all 
bits have equal value."

Cicero
"Anyone who has got a book collection/library and a garden wants for nothing."

Cicero
"Times are bad. Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is writing 
a book."

Clarissa Pinkola Estes
"To create one must be able to respond. Creativity is the ability to
respond to all that goes on around us, to choose from the hundreds of 
possibilities of though, feeling, action, and reaction and to put these 
together in a unique response, expression or message that carries moment, 
passion and meaning. In this sense, loss of our creative milieu means finding 
ourselves limited to only one choice, divested of, suppressing, or cendoring 
feelings and thoughts, not acting, not saying, doing, or being."

Cyril Connolly
"Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public 
and have no self."

Dame Rose Macaulay
"It was a book to kill time for those who like it better dead."

Dorothy Parker
"This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great 
force."

Erica Jong
"Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the 
dark places where it leads.."

Frank Zappa
"Rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk 
for people who can't read."

Fred Brooks, Jr.
"...when fits of creativity run strong, more than one programmer or writer
has been known to abandon the desktop for the more spacious floor."

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)
"A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the 
truth about its author."

Groucho Marx
"From the moment I picked up your book until I laid it down, I was
convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it."

Groucho Marx
"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark 
to read."

Groucho Marx, 1890-1977
"I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go 
into the other room and read a book."
