How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.

» Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American naturalist, poet and philosopher, abolitionist

A perfectly healthy sentence, it is true, is extremely rare. For the most part we miss the hue and fragrance of the thought; as if we could be satisfied with the dews of the morning or evening without their colors, or the heavens without their azure.

» Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American naturalist, poet and philosopher, abolitionist

I hold any Writersufficiently justified who is himself in love with his theme.

Give me a condor's quill! Give me Vesuvius crater for an inkstand!

» Herman Melville (1819-1891) American writer

Good sense is both the first principal and the parent source of good writing.

» Horace (65-8) Roman lyric poet ['Odes', 'Satires', 'Ars Poetica']

You must often make erasures if you mean to write what is worthy of being read a second time; and don't labor for the admiration of the crowd, but be content with a few choice readers.

» Horace (65-8) Roman lyric poet ['Odes', 'Satires', 'Ars Poetica']
