Is this legal?

Since reading On Writing, Mr. the King is my "muse" ... thanks a lot for the visual.

I am going to include "motivational" quotes in I've highlighted from On Writing in this category until he forbids it...

Today's:

(Page 47): "When you're writing a story, you're telling yourself the story… When you rewrite, your main job is taking out all the things that are NOT the story." and "Write with the door closed. Rewrite with the door open. Your stuff starts out being just for you.. But then… it belongs to anyone who wants to read it. Or criticize it."
