- You can approach the act of writing with nervousness, excitement, hopefulness, or even despair–the sense that you can never completely put on the page what’s in your mind and heart. You can come to the act with your fists clenched and your eyes narrowed, ready to kick ass and take down names. You can come to it because you want a girl to marry you or because you want to change the world. Come to it any way but lightly. Let me say it again: you must not come lightly to the blank page.
- Stephen King (1947 - ), On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, 2000
- You must not come lightly to the blank page.

- There was no escaping by means of any journey, however adventurous, one took one's problems and sorrows with one.
- Elizabeth Aston, The Exploits & Adventures of Miss Alethea Darcy, 2005
- How close the sexes sometimes come to one another. It is as much a matter of behaviour and the spere in which they move that separates the masculine part of humanity from the feminine.
- Elizabeth Aston, The Exploits & Adventures of Miss Alethea Darcy, 2005
- Easy enough to dismiss others' problems when you had none of your own.
