What are your favorite quotes about writing / publishing?
Here's one of mine:

My most quotable friend always said this:

"Always tell the truth. Unless it's too dull."

This small town newspaper motto grabbed my attention.

"We tell the truth. Only not so much of it."

This is the slogan for another small town paper:

"Tell the truth and run like hell."

I don't remember who it was but when asked why she wrote she replied.

I have six kids. The only way I can get anyone to listen to me is to write them.

I don't know who said this, but I've always liked it: 'A writer is like a vending machine. You put money in; words come out."
