The difference between the right word and the almost right word

“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.”
Mark Twain
About who has not pleasure in a good novel

The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.
Jane Austen
Ideal view of the world

It is wrong to have an ideal view of the world. That's where the mischief starts. That's where everything starts unravelling.
V.S. Naipaul
Just follow your hero

First, find out what your hero wants, then just follow him!

Ray Bradbury
The forms of things unknown and the the poet’s pen

And as imagination bodies forth

The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen

Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing

A local habitation and a nam
William Shakespeare (from A Midsummer Night’s Dream)
