Here are several quotes pulled from the Ralph Keyes book The Courage to Write:
“I admire anybody who has the guts to write anything at all.”
E.B White
“The best work that anybody ever writes is the work that is on the verge of embarrassing him, always.”
Arthur Miller
“If we had to say what writing is, we would have to define it essentially as an act of courage.”
Cynthia Ozick
“When an interviewer asked Anne Sexton what a writing class could offer students, Sexton replied, ‘Courage, of course. That’s the most important ingredient.’ Writing programs can provide a safe haven, a sparsely filled theater in which to practice lines before facing the trauma of an audience.”
Ralph Keyes
