“Write what pleases you.If you please others in the process it's a bonus.”
“If it pleases you and you can write at all, it's gonna please somebody else.”
“Do not write to impress others. Authors who write to impress people have difficulty remaining true to themselves. A better path is to write what pleases you and pray that there are others like you. Your first and most important reader is you. If you write a book that pleases you, at least you know one person will like it.”
“Write to Please Yourself.When You write to Please OthersYou end up Pleasing No one.”
“When I write to please everybody, it falls flat. When I write what I know, fearlessly, It won't please everybody, but it doesn't fall flat.”
“For the power of Man to make himself what he pleases means... the power of some men to make other men what THEY please.”
