"A writer is a person for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people." Thomas Mann

"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." Russell Baker

"In certain kinds of writing, particularly in art criticism and literary criticism, it is normal to come across long passages which are almost completely lacking in meaning." George Orwell

"Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards." Robert Heinlein
