Dr. Seuss on writing

How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before it’s afternoon. December is here before it’s June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?

Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.

To write a good love letter, you ought to begin without knowing what you mean to say and to finish without knowing what you have written.

Don’t use words too big for the subject. Don’t say ‘infinitely’ when you mean ‘very’; otherwise you’ll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.

C. S. Lewis1898–1963

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.
