Quotes by J B Priestley

'Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write. If all feels hopeless, if that famous 'inspiration' will not come, write. If you are a genius, you'll make your own rules, but if not - and the odds are against it - go to your desk no matter what your mood, face the icy challenge of the paper - write.'

'Write as often as possible, not with the idea at once of getting into print, but as if you were learning an instrument.'
