"Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague."
"Admirations are never paid in any way, try to make yourself of what you admire, and it will pay you with originality."
"The most important trait of a writer is an authentic voice. Writers have to have faith in their own voice, and their own way of doing things. Originality is the gem that every writer possesses. Originality also brings on the most merciless attacks. The world resents originality in the beginning writer, and then rewards it abundantly once that writer has been successfully published. Cherish your own voice. Don't try to sound like anybody else. Sound like yourself and take the slings and arrows and keep going."
"Originality is a thing we constantly clamour for, and constantly quarrel with."
"All good things which exist are the fruits of originality."
"The writer of originality, unless dead, is always shocking, scandalous; novelty disturbs and repels."
"Originality is independence, not rebellion; it is sincerity, not antagonism."
