“To require perfection is to invite paralysis.”— David Bayles Related Quotes “The ultimate message of this book, though, is not that should strive for publication, but that you should become devoted to the craft of writing, for its own sake.

And then, every word is a victory.”— Noah Lukeman “Publishers are businesses and I don’t blame them for that. If they didn’t make money by publishing books, there wouldn’t be any books.”— Johnny Rich “Murals in restaurants are on a par with the food in museums.”– Peter De Vries
