Good writing does not come from verbiage but from words.

Writing in a strict form can surprise you.

Writing reminds you of how much there is in your life that stands outside your explanations. In that way, it's almost a journey into faith and doubt at once.

Grammar is a piano I play by ear. All I know about grammar is its power.

The correctness and quality of what you write do not matter; the act of writing does.

I don't know if I officially proofread my father's book, but I read it. I did get some conception of grammar in general from that.

To write something, you have to risk making a fool of yourself.

You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say.

What I like about writing is the sense of godlike power it gives you.
