Favorite Writing Quotes?
Hello everyone,
My name is Canyon, 22 years old, two year Expatriate to Cambridge, England from the USA. I fix warplanes for a living and have had the privilage to visit beautiful Doha, Qatar. I've had a couple of automotive articles published, and am currently working on short stories. I've had a class with Ron Carlson. That's my basic bio, about the same as everyone elses. I've been enjoying the site for a while, but I wish there was more traffic.
Here's a quick idea, sometimes when I'm stuck for an idea, I find a good quote and write on it. Post your favorites, famous or personal.
I'll start:
