A good writer possesses not only his own spirit but also the spirit of his friends.

You know, as a writer, I'm more of a listener than a writer, cuz if I hear something I will write it down.

The key to being a wonderful writer is not to write. You just get out of the way, leave room for God to walk in the room, and when I write something that I know is right, I get on my knees and say, 'Thank You.

The writer is the engineer of the human soul.

No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.

The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader.
