1 " Between the lines of every book the writer reveals their own secrets. "
― Chloe Thurlow , The Fifty Shades of Grey Phenomena
2 " When you lose yourself in a book the hours grow wings and fly. "
3 " Writers strive for the impossible: perfection. Even the universe is flawed. "
4 " Characters begin as your children and become your teachers. "
5 " Books have a life. They breathe. When you write a book, it grows and changes. You learn from your characters after you create them. They come from you and you become them. "
6 " Write what you want to write. That's the only advice a writer will ever need. "
7 " Writing is like a religion to those who don't practise, an act of faith for those who do. "
8 " Who knows why we do it? And when we've done it, nobody wants it. Still we keep doing it. That's what makes a writer a writer. "
9 " Perfection is not something you strive for. Perfection is in the eyes of the beholder. Perfection is a state of grace, of peace of serenity, a moment as fleeting as a smile. "
10 " The only prophecy the artist can make with confidence is that he and his message will be misunderstood by a world that values all the wrong things. "
11 " Good writing like good sex requires discipline. "
12 " I'm my characters' galley slave. "
13 " One of the key secrets of great writing is knowing where to start and when to stop. "
14 " I am inclined to disagree with Jung when he says the Shadow is the person that we’d rather not be. The Shadow is that unadorned part of ourself, it is flexible the way it stretches and contorts. The Shadow is our dark side, the side we hide and climb into, not the person that we would rather not be, but the person we would rather be. "
15 " Writers tell you what to think. Great writers make you think. "
16 " Women who read are dangerous. Women who write are to be avoided. "
17 " Great writing requires great doubt and great self-confidence. One without the other inspires mediocrity. "
18 " When one sense is diminished, the others burn more brightly. In a blindfold, you feel every minute motion of his hand as it crosses your body, his fingertips finding secret places, his palm on bare buttocks, his cock nudging at your clitoris. "
19 " Reading releases you from the limits of yourself. "
20 " They say sex is all in the mind. That's not strictly true. Desire begins in the mind but is satisfied in the body. The erotic understands this. The erotic is the completion of a mental need played out on a physical playground. Once you go erotic you never go back. "
