This compilation of 701 quotes delivers inspiration, motivation and encouragement on 39 aspects of writing and the writing life.

You will discover quotes to make you laugh and quotes to make you cry. Some are familiar, like old friends. Others you will meet for the first time. All have a common theme: Our Writing Life.

Writers may sit alone in a room writing but we experience the same emotions. We share our wit and wisdom. We learn from each other.

This book is a resource. Use it when you need inspiration or encouragement. Use it when you need motivation to write.

Take time to reflect on the wisdom in these pages. There is much to learn from the great writers of our day and of days gone by. The words of these past masters will keep you in times of darkness. They will light your way. They will pick you up when you are down. They will ground you when your ego gets too large.

Above all they will remind you that writers, all writers, are part of our fragile humanity.

We must, above all, be kind to each other.
