One must be drenched in words, literally soaked in them, to have the right ones form themselves into the proper patterns at the right moment.
Hart Crane 1899-1932
A word is a bud attempting to become a twig. How can one not dream while writing? It is the pen which dreams. The blank page gives the right to dream.
Gaston Bachelard 1884-1962
For words, like nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson 1809-1892
Any word you have to hunt for in a thesaurus is the wrong word. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Stephen King
