The only thing I was fit for was to be a writer, and this notion rested solely on my suspicion that I would never be fit for real work, and that writing didn't require any.

Read over your compositions, and wherever you meet with a passage which you think is particularly fine, strike it out.

There is only one way to defeat the enemy, and that is to write as well as one can. The best argument is an undeniably good book.

I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters.

I never feel that I have comprehended an emotion, or fully lived even the smallest events, until I have reflected upon it in my journal; my pen is my truest confidant, holding in check the passions and disappointments that I dare not share even with my beloved.

Any word you have to hunt for in a thesaurus is the wrong word. There are no exceptions to this rule.

You can approach the act of writing with nervousness, excitement, hopefulness, or even despair–the sense that you can never completely put on the page what’s in your mind and heart. You can come to the act with your fists clenched and your eyes narrowed, ready to kick ass and take down names. You can come to it because you want a girl to marry you or because you want to change the world. Come to it any way but lightly. Let me say it again: you must not come lightly to the blank page.
