If you write, one of the questions you're always trying to answer is, Where do you get your ideas? And, if you write, you know how pointless a question this is and how difficult it is to answer. Lynn Abbey
There is, of course, always the personal satisfaction of writing down one's own experiences so they may be saved, caught and pinned under glass, hoarded against the winter of forgetfulness. Time has been cheated a little, at least, in one's own life, and a personal, trivial immortality of an old self assured. Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Salman Rushdie quote: "Until you know who you are you cant write!"
Until you know who you are you cant write! Salman Rushdie
The good writing of any age has always been the product of someone's neurosis, and we'd have mighty dull literature if all the writers that came along were a happy bunch of chuckleheads. William Styron
He is trying to recapture his innocence, yet all he succeeds in doing (by writing) is to inoculate the world with a virus of his disillusionment. Henry Miller
And it was about then, about that time, that I began to find life unsatisfactory as an explanation of itself and was forced to adopt the method of the artist of not explaining but putting the blocks together in some other way that seems more significant to him. Which is a rather fancy way of saying I started writing. Tennessee Williams
Umberto Eco quote: "The author should die once he has finished writing. So as not..."
The author should die once he has finished writing. So as not to trouble the path of the text. Umberto Eco
My goal is to write every day. I say it is my ideal. I am careful not to pass judgment or create anxiety if I do not do it. No one lives up to his ideal. Natalie Goldberg
No, women like you don't write. They carve onion sculptures and potato statues. They sit in dark corners and braid their hair in new shapes and twists in order to control the stiffness, the unruliness, the rebelliousness. Edwidge Danticat
Tom Waits quote: "The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying..."
The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering. Tom Waits
Ernest Hemingway quote: "It's harder to write in the third person but the advantage is..."
It's harder to write in the third person but the advantage is you move around better. Ernest Hemingway
It took me fifteen years to discover that I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous. Robert Benchley
George R. R. Martin quote: "Some writers enjoy writing, I am told. Not me. I enjoy having..."
Some writers enjoy writing, I am told. Not me. I enjoy having written. George R. R. Martin
Craig Claiborne quote: "I am simply of the opinion that you cannot be taught to write...."
I am simply of the opinion that you cannot be taught to write. You have to spend a lifetime in love with words. Craig Claiborne
Calling it a simple schoolgirl crush was like saying a Rolls-Royce was a vehicle with four wheels, something like a hay-wagon. She did not giggle wildly and blush when she saw him, nor did she chalk his name on trees or write it on the walls of the Kissing Bridge. She simply lived with his face in her heart all the time, a kind of sweet, hurtful ache. She would have died for him.. Stephen King
