Quotes to inspire writers

So often is the virgin sheet of paper more real than what one has to say, and so often one regrets having marred it.

A blank canvas
A wide spread of possibility before me
Nothing but what I could do
And what I could say
This is pure potential
Undiminished by any petty problems
This is nothing but open parchment
Nothing but what I can do with it
