For it would seem - her case proved it - that we write, not with the fingers, but with the whole person. The nerve which controls the pen winds itself about every fibre of our being, threads the heart, pierces the liver.

A small daily task, if it be really daily, will beat the labours of a spasmodic Hercules.

I heard a preacher say recently that hope is a revolutionary patience; let me add that so is being a writer. Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up.

If you can't annoy somebody, there is little point in writing.
Kingsley AmisI was starting to wonder if I was ready to be a writer, not someone who won prizes, got published and was given the time and space to work, but someone who wrote as a course of life.

Wouldn't that be enough, to be a waitress who found an hour or two hidden in every day to write?
