The Power Of Quotes

"Each human being is a gift, and we each have our own unique dream and purpose for living. We each must mine our imaginations, creativity and souls to uncover our true purposes and passions." --Sandra Magsamen

From time to time I like to share some writing quotes that I come across. One of my fascinations with quotes is that I find them to be so inspiring and/or motivational. They convey a message with the simplest use of words. If I am looking to jump start my creativity, I read quotes (not only on writing) to get my creative juices flowing. They help me get unblocked and are great writing prompts. These are some of my favorite writing quotes:

"Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday." --Donald Marquis

"An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail." --Edwin Land

"It is never too late, in fiction or in life, to revise." --Nancy Thayer

"A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be." --Abraham Maslow

"There is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem." --Booker T. Washington

"Easy reading is damn hard writing." --Nathaniel Hawthorne
