Additional quotes by William Zinsser

writing is a craft, not an art, and that the man who runs away from his craft because he lacks inspiration is fooling himself.

Learning, he seemed to be saying, takes a multitude of forms; expect to find them in places where you least expect them to be.

Readers must be given room to bring their own emotions to a piece so crammed with emotional content; the writer must tenaciously resist explaining why the material is so moving.

But nothing has replaced the writer. He or she is still stuck with the same old job of saying something that other people will want to read. - William Zinsser
