Additional quotes by William Zinsser

Make a habit of reading what is being written today and what was written by
earlier masters. Writing is learned by imitation. If anyone asked me how I
learned to write, I’d say I learned by reading the men and women who were
doing the kind of writing I wanted to do and trying to figure out how they did it.
But cultivate the best models.
