Art Of Writing Quotes (page 2)

--Even losing you (a joking voice, a gesture/ I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident/ the art of losing's not too hard to master/ though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster. Elizabeth Bishop
We were given clear concrete tools. The course did a great job demystifying the art of fiction writing and fostering confidence. The instructor brought complex concepts down to earth. I will miss coming here every week. Miguel Ferrer
I think young writers should get other degrees first, social sciences, arts degrees or even business degrees. What you learn is research skills, a necessity because a lot of writing is about trying to find information. Irvine Welsh
Art stands on the shoulders of craft, which means that to get to the art, you must master the craft. If you want to write, practice writing. Ann Patchett
Ursula K. Le Guin quote: "Art is action. The way I live my life to its highest degree is..."
Art is action. The way I live my life to its highest degree is by writing, the practice of art. Ursula K. Le Guin
Writing is a kind of performing art, and I can't sit down to write unless I'm dressed. I don't mean dressed in a suit, but dressed well and comfortably and I have to be shaved and bathed. Peter O'Toole
writing is like being in love. You never get better at it or learn more about it. The day you think you do is the day you lose it. Robert Frost called his work a lover's quarrel with the world. It's ongoing. It has neither a beginning nor an end. You don't have to worry about learning things. The fire of one's art burns all the impurities from the vessel that contains it. James Lee Burke
Stephen King quote: "Writing is magic, as much the water of life as any other..."
Writing is magic, as much the water of life as any other creative art. The water is free. So drink. Drink and be filled up. Stephen King
Writing ought either to be the manufacture of stories for which there is a market demand—a business as safe and commendable as making soap or breakfast foods—or it should be an art, which is always a search for something for which there is no market demand, something new and untried, where the values are intrinsic and have nothing to do with standardized values. Willa Cather
Writing is no dying art form in America because most published writers here accept the wisdom and the necessity of encouraging the talent that follows in their footsteps. Elizabeth George
Writing is truly a creative art - putting word to a blank piece of paper and ending up with a full-fledged story rife with character and plot. William Shatner
Andre Breton quote: "Of all those arts in which the wise excel, Nature's chief..."
Of all those arts in which the wise excel, Nature's chief masterpiece is writing well. Andre Breton
Isabel Allende quote: "Writing is my job. I don't think of it as art."
Writing is my job. I don't think of it as art. Isabel Allende
don’t write out of what I know; I write out of what I wonder. I think most artists create art in order to explore, not to give the answers. Poetry and art are not about answers to me; they are about questions. Lucille Clifton
To write is to forget. Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life. Music soothes, the visual arts exhilarates, the performing arts (such as acting and dance) entertain. Literature, however, retreats from life by turning in into slumber. The other arts make no such retrea? some because they use visible and hence vital formulas, others because they live from human life itself. This isn't the case with literature. Literature stimulates life. A novel is a story of what never was, a... Fernando Pessoa
