Quote of the Day

I'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate.

~George Burns

Pay no attention to what the critics say; no statue has ever been erected to a critic.

~Jean Sibelius

The writer who sits at her desk with an empty piece of paper staring back is like the explorer who stands at the edge of a new continent.

~James Michener

The beautiful part of writing is that you don't have to get it right the first time, unlike, say, a brain surgeon.

~Robert Cormier
