Tom Araya quote: "I write, I write, I always write."
I write, I write, I always write. Tom Araya
The mission of the playwright is to look in his heart and write, to write whatever concerns him at the moment; to write with passion and conviction. Of course the measure of the man will be the measure of the play. Robert Anderson
I might be writing what people expect me to write, writing from that place where I might be ruled by economic considerations. To overcome that, I started working with my dreams, because I'm not so censored when I use dream material. Kathy Acker
I’m often asked if I think the beginning writer of fiction can benefit from writing classes or seminars. The people who ask are, all too often, looking for a magic bullet or a secret ingredient or possibly Dumbo’s magic feather, none of which can be found in classrooms or at writing retreats, no matter how enticing the brochures may be. Stephen King
I'll probably never produce a masterpiece, but so what? I feel I have a Sound aborning, which is my own, and that Sound if erratic is still my greatest pride, because I would rather write like a dancer shaking my ass to boogaloo inside my head, and perhaps reach only readers who like to use books to shake their asses, than to be or write for the man cloistered in a closet somewhere reading Aeschylus while this stupefying world careens crazily past his waxy windows toward its last raving sooty... Lester Bangs
I am satisfied that if a book is a good one, it is so whatever the sex of the author may be. All novels are or should be written for both men and women to read, and I am at a loss to conceive how a man should permit himself to write anything that would be really disgraceful to a woman, or why a woman should be censured for writing anything that would be proper and becoming for a man. Anne Bronte
Confess to yourself in the deepest hour of the night whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write. Dig deep into your heart, where the answer spread its roots in your being, and ask yourself solemnly. Must I write? Rainer Maria Rilke
The writer's job is not to write a novel, hold it up and say, “Here I am,” but to write a novel, hold it up and say, “Here YOU are. Rita Mae Brown
There is absolutely no point in sitting down to write a book unless you feel that you must write that book, or else go mad, or die. Robertson Davies
It is the only life I care about—to write, to go out occasionally and ‘lose myself’ looking and hearing and then to come back and write again. At any rate that’s the life I’ve chosen. Katherine Mansfield
What will you do?"Oh, hell, I'll write a novel about writing the screenplay and making the movie."What are you going to call it?"Hollywood."Hollywood?"Yes..."And here it is. (Hollywood, pg. 239) Charles Bukowski
You really don't understand the first thing about writing...for one thing, early in the morning is the worst possible time. the brain is like a wet sponge at that hour. And for another, real writing is a question of staring into space and waiting for the right ideas. Cornelia Funke
Charles Bukowski quote: "Some people have written that my writing has helped them go..."
Some people have written that my writing has helped them go on. It has helped me too. The writing, the roses, the 9 cats. Charles Bukowski
No writing is a waste of time? no creative work where the feelings, the imagination, the intelligence must work. With every sentence you write, you have learned something. It has done you good. Brenda Ueland
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "You don't write because you want to say something; you write..."
You don't write because you want to say something; you write because you've got something to say. F. Scott Fitzgerald
