5 Great Quotations about Write What You Know

“There is no need for the writer to eat a whole sheep to be able to tell what mutton tastes like.” – W. Somerset Maugham

“My writing is full of lives I might have led. A writer imagines what could have happened, not what really happened.” – Joyce Carol Oates

“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.” – Henry David Thoreau

One can no more say, “To write stay home,” than one can say, “To write leave home.” It is the writing that makes its own rules and conditions for each person. – Eudora Welty

“I write with experiences in mind, but I don’t write about them, I write out of them.” – John Ashbery
