  Lord Byron

 Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost what it feels about dogs

  August Wilhelm von Schlegel

 Be yourself. Above all, let who you are, what you are, what you believe, shine through every sentence you write, every piece you finish.

 Before I write I let my mind go blind and let the lord do his thing.
