RiverWriters.com: Make Your Writing Flow!

Imagination is the beginning of creation. -- George Bernard Shaw

"One can't believe impossible things," said Alice. "I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." ---- Alice in Wonderland

"A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit." -- Richard Bach

Clear and cool, clear and cool, By laughing shallow, and dreaming pool. --- from Water-Babies

Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.--Anne Sexton

Here today, up and off somewhere else tomorrow! Travel, change, interest, excitement! -- Mr. Toad in The Wind in the Willows

"I write when I'm inspired, and see to it that I'm inspired at nine o'clock every morning. -- Peter DeVries

Teach us delight in simple things,
And fun that has no bitter springs,
Forgiveness free of evil done,
And love to all beneath the sun.
-- Rudyard Kipling
