Writer Quotes (page 19)

Robert Frost quote: "No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in..."
No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader. Robert Frost
I feel as if I'm clearly part of a trend among writers who take themselves seriously - and I confess to taking myself as seriously as the next writer. Jonathan Franzen
If you want to know why all writers are a little crazy read 'The Midnight Disease' by Alice W. Flaherty. She talks about the drive to write, writer's block, and the creative brain. I know what's wrong with me! Dorothea Benton Frank
Ken Follet quote: "Movies have influenced all writers, not just thriller writers."
Movies have influenced all writers, not just thriller writers. Ken Follet
I think mystery writers and thriller writers - whatever genre you want to call it - are taking on some of the biggest, most interesting kind of socioeconomic issues around in a really interesting, compelling way. Gillian Flynn
Some major writers have a huge impact, like Ayn Rand, who to my mind is a lousy fiction writer because her writing has no compassion and virtually no humor. She has a philosophical and economical message that she is passing off as fiction, but it really isn't fiction at all. Theodore Sturgeon
Edna Ferber quote: "Life can't defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for..."
Life can't defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for life itself is a writer's lover until death. Edna Ferber
One likes to think one grows as a writer as one ages, else all you get is an "old" young writer. Beyond that is the changing landscape of the universe and the stories I choose to tell. Raymond E. Feist
Rita Dove quote: "I didn't know writers could be real live people, because I..."
I didn't know writers could be real live people, because I never knew any writers. Rita Dove
The same issue is happening on a show like Everybody Loves Raymond now, which is in its eighth year and struggling to come up with good stories. It'll be interesting to see how they do. The bottom line is, it starts with the writers and ends with the writers. William Devane
They're pretty particular about what they show. They certainly edit the scripts and have conversations with the writers about what they are and aren't willing to portray. But the writers and the network are pretty much on the same page. James Denton
Comedy can be, especially in a writer's room, really aggressive, kind of a very male-dominated room, and it would be hard for women. It's not a nurturing place. It's not like a lot of women are going to say, I can't wait to live that lifestyle and be in a writer's room until 2 or 3 a. m. Ellen DeGeneres
T. S. Eliot quote: "Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers."
Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers. T. S. Eliot
I'm a fantasy writer, called a fantasy writer. But there's very little, apart from one or two basic concepts in 'I Shall Wear Midnight,' which are in fact fantasy. You have sticks that fly, but they're practical broomsticks, with a bloody great strap that you can hold on to so you don't fall off. And you try not to use them too often. Terry Prachett
I think that each of us inhabits a private world that others cannot see. The only difference between the writer and the reader is that the writer is able to dramatise that private world. John McGahern
