Some writer quotes (I don't own them):

It's none of their business that you have to learn to write. Let them think you were born that way.
- Ernest Hemingway

If you can tell stories, create characters, devise incidents, and have sincerity and passion, it doesn't matter a damn how you write.
- Somerset Maugham

It is perfectly okay to write garbage-as long as you edit brilliantly.
- C. J. Cherryh

It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous.
- Robert Benchley

My own experience is that once a story has been written, one has to cross out the beginning and the end. It is there that we authors do most of our lying.
- Anton Chekhov

Some reader quotes (I don't own them):

Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.

I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.

It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.
