"What the detective story is about is not murder but the restoration of order." —P. D. James

"Cut out all those exclamation marks. An exclamation mark is like laughing at your own joke." —F. Scott Fitzgerald

"I can do to him whatever I like. I'm allowed to torture him as much as I want. He's mine." —J. K. Rowling defends her right to put Harry Potter through the mill

From free-flowing prose to writer's block, the joys and perils that envelop gifted writers' lives are captured for eternity in this hearty batch of quotations from history's legendary wordsmiths.
