Cynthia’s Quotes

“A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit.”
― Richard Bach

495 likes

“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”
― Ernest Hemingway

“I will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
Alive
with closed eyes
to dash against darkness”

“Writers don't write from experience, although many are hesitant to admit that they don't. ...If you wrote from experience, you'd get maybe one book, maybe three poems. Writers write from empathy.”
