Here's a few I like.

A writer is somebody for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people. -Thomas Mann, novelist, Nobel laureate (1875-1955)

No, no, you're not thinking, you're just being logical. -Niels Bohr, physicist

Too much sanity may be madness. And maddest of all, to see life as it is and not as it should be! -Miguel de Cervantes

My play was a complete success. The audience was a failure. -Ashleigh Brilliant, writer

LOL, that's totally a physicist. No one but a physicist would say that, except maybe a philosopher. But it's true.

That's why I always fight with people who are sticklers for logic above all else (and we always get lost in my different definitions for logic and reason). I studied a Greek philosopher who came up with three perfectly logical arguments for why motion does not exist. Of course, it's BS. But it's logical. So where does that leave us?

I think there's a lot to be said for thinking "logically" in some cases, but it doesn't exactly lead to much innovation. As much as I hate the phrasing of it, sometimes it really does help to "think outside of the box", and logic has a way of boxing you right in instead.

It is! Good writing is so bloody difficult to make.
