David Herbert Lawrence quote: "I like to write when I feel spiteful. It is like having a good..."
I like to write when I feel spiteful. It is like having a good sneeze."(Letter to Cynthia Asquith, November 1913) David Herbert Lawrence

But I’m going to be generous and let you write down the ghost of Ayn Rand as a brain fart. I won’t bring her up again if you don’t. Cory Doctorow

He didn't understand what happened to him. He felt like a piece of paper that had once had coherent writing on it but had been through the wash. He felt roughened, bleached, and worn out along the fold lines. Jonathan Franzen
...I overheard Dorothy talking to Mr Montrose and she was telling Mr Montrose that she thought that I would be great in the movies if he would write me a part that only had three expressions, Joy, Sorrow, and Indigestion. Anita Loos
If I never had another book published, and it was very clear to me that this was a real possibility, I still had to go on writing. I'm glad I made this decision in a moment of failure. It's easy to say you're a writer when things are going well. When the decision is made in the abyss, the in is quite clear that it is not one's own decision at all. Madeleine L'Engle

No one will ever write a fantasy novel better than The Hobbit. R. A. Salvatore
Good writers have two things in common: they prefer to be understood rather than admired; and they do not write for knowing and over-acute readers. Friedrich Nietzsche
I didn't start running because somebody asked me to become a runner. Just like I didn't become a novelist because someone asked me to. One day, out of the blue, I wanted to write a novel. And one day, out of the blue, I started to run-simply because I wanted to. I've always done whatever I felt like doing in life.
