Five Great Quotations for Aspiring Writers

“All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.”- Ernest Hemingway

“Write what should not be forgotten.” - Isabel Allende

“Never annoy an inspirational author or you will become the poison in her pen and the villain in every one of her books.” - Shannon L. Alder

“If you have any young friends who aspire to become writers, the second greatest favor you can do them is to present them with copies of ‘The Elements of Style.’ The first greatest, of course, is to shoot them now, while they’re happy.” - Dorothy Parker

“Start telling the stories that only you can tell, because there’ll always be better writers than you and there’ll always be smarter writers than you. There will always be people who are much better at doing this or doing that - but you are the only you.” - Neil Gaiman
