One of my absolute favorites:
"Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer." -Barbara Kingsolver

I can't look this up right now, but I read this when I was an impressionable adolescent. This quote turned on the permanent "write a book" switch in me.
(this is mega-paraphrased)
Figure out what book you most want to read and then sit down and write it yourself.--JD Salinger

One of my favorites is the quote in my signature. Copied and pasted, in case I ever change it.
"The real secret is to do it because you love writing rather than because you love the idea of being a Writer" -Iain Banks (Guardian Unlimited, Feb 7th, 2008)
I will come back and add as I remember others
Good stuff so far!
