Some quotes to keep you hanging in there as a writer when you feel like giving up!
“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” – Confucius
“Fall down seven times, get up eight!” – Japanese Proverb
“The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away many small stones.” – Confucius again!
And some more ridiculous reviews:

– Clifton Fadiman, The New Yorker on Absolom, Absolum! by William Faulkner, 1936
“…a book of the season only…”
– New York Herald Tribune
“The Great Gatsby falls into the class of negligible novels”
– Springfield Republican on The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald, 1925
“Monsieur Flaubert is not a writer.”
