Reading Writing Quotes (page 2)

Roberto Bolano quote: "Reading is more important than writing."
Reading is more important than writing. Roberto Bolano
Writing sometimes feels frivolous and sometimes sacred, but memory is one of my strongest muses. I serve her with my words. So long as people read, those we love survive however evanescently. As do we writers, saying with our life's work, Remember. Remember us. Remember me. Marge Piercy
Write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open. Your stuff starts out being just for you, in other words, but then it goes out. Once you know what the story is and get it right? as right as you can, anyway? it belongs to anyone who wants to read it. Or criticize it. Stephen King

Getting happy. Stephen King

He felt that even if she didn't understand at once, the letter would leave her with an enduring chill and perhaps in time lead her to see herself as she was. Flannery O'Connor

Read the sacred writings of all the peoples on Earth. Through all of them runs, like a red thread, the hidden Science of attaining and maintaining wakefulness. Gustave Meyrink
Mary Garden quote: "Reading Stephen King's book, On Writing, was like being..."

Reading, like writing, is a creative act. If readers only bring a narrow range of themselves to the book, then they'll only see their narrow range reflected in it. Ben Okri
R. A. Salvatore quote: "Writing a book for me, I expect, is very similar to the..."
