Huffington Post has a rundown of the Best Writing Tips Ever.

Drawn from the poet Allen Ginsburg. 

Some of my favorites:

“My writing is a picture of the mind moving.”—Philip Whalen

 

“Do I contradict myself?
Very well, then I contradict myself,
(I am large. I contain multitudes.)”—Walt Whitman

 

“And being old she put a skin/On everything she said.”—W.B.Yeats


“What’s the face you had before you were born?”—Zen Koan

 

“I’m going to try speaking some reckless words, and I want you to try to listen recklessly.”—Chuang Tzu, (Tr. Burton Watson)
