I run a blog and an Instagram and Pinterest branching from that blog. I like to make inspirational quote posts on them when I’m not posting about writing. What are some good quotes regarding writing?

Firs of all, welcome to KP! I don’t think I’ve met you yet. I’m Esther: a volleyball-playing, violin-squeaking, dog-obsessed, fiction-writing, homeschooled, God-loving, teen girl!
Now that I’ve introduced myself…
Anyway, to answer your question. XD There’s a ton of awesome quotes Jerry Jenkins complied in this article.
Hope it helps!

It is possible that the book may not sell; but that is nothing- it was written for love.
– Mark Twain
(I may have slightly misquoted, I’ll have to double check)
Any noun can become a verb if you don't care enough.

“No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.”
― Robert Frost“When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, ‘I am going to produce a work of art.’ I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing.” — George Orwell
