When I saw Ant's quotes, I was gonna run to Google and find some, too. But frankly you both had such great ones that I think I'll just enjoy them.

Good 6 quotes. I love quotes, unfortunately, I can never remember them (surprise, surprise). I have to stick them on the mirror or the desk.

There is no rule on how to write. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly; sometimes it's like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges.
-Ernest Hemingway

Genius might be the ability to say a profound thing in a simple way.
-Charles Bukowski

Write in recollection and amazement for yourself.
- Jack Kerouac

Write what you like; there is no other rule.
- O. Henry
