good advice

I've been reading about English poet Wendy Cope. (click title of post to read more about her.) Here's her list of good advice from writers:


"The only end of writing is to enable the readers better to enjoy life or better to endure it." - Samuel Johnson

"His chief desire was to express himself and his own truth - and therefore life and humanity." - Walter de la Mare on Edward Thomas

"Those who write clearly have readers; those who write obscurely have commentators." - Albert Camus

"I give to the world what I have in my heart, and that is the end of it. " - Franz Schubert
