I have learned that once you
understand that meanings are
in people [readers], you actually
write better. If you want them
to understand something your
way, you have to tell them
exactly how it is. If you leave it
up to them,
they will see it their own way.

—Former student of mine

I don’t write books,
I think it is a terrible business,
and a bad idea for most people—
but I do launch mission.

—Darren Hardy

A lot of people talk about writing.
The secret is to write, not talk.

—Jackie Collins
