When I first started to write, I was aware of being queer, but I didn't write about it. Queer poems would probably not have been accepted by the editors I sent them to. (Thom Gunn)

Only write from your own passion, your own truth. That's the only thing you really know about, and anything else leads you away from the pulse.

Marianne Williamson

Everything a writer learns about the art or craft of fiction takes just a little away from his need or desire to write at all. In the end he knows all the tricks and has nothing to say.

Raymond Chandler

Men have a lot less to write about, unless you're somebody like Tom Waits or John Lennon. And the female voice is much more suited to melody. Men have this barky thing-we're domesticated apes with a microphone.

Brandon Boyd

Planning to write is not writing. Outlining... researching... talking to people about what you're doing, none of that is writing. Writing is writing.

E. L. Doctorow

I wanted to write about the moment when your addictions no longer hide the truth from you. When your whole life breaks down. That's the moment when you have to somehow choose what your life is going to be about.

Chuck Palahniuk
