Writing Quotations Help!

I hope to post an inspirational quotation for each day of November like we had last year (here's an example). So I would like to ask for your help Nano Writer!

Please respond to this post and tell me your favorite writing quotations. One or several, I need them all! Thanks!

There is a certain embarrassment about being a storyteller in these times when stories are considered not quite as satisfying as statements and statements not quite as satisfying as statistics; but in the long run, a people is known, not by its statements or its statistics, but by the stories it tells. — Flannery O'Connor

It's my favorite positive writing-related quote of hers :)

(My other favorite is Everywhere I go, I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher. which is not all that inspirational!)
