Writings Quotes (page 221)

In eleven or twelve years of writing, Mike, I can lay claim to at least this: I have never written beneath myself. I have never written anything that I didn't want my name attached to. I have probed deeper in some scripts and I've been more successful in some than others. But all of them that have been on, you know, I'll take my lick. They're mine and that's the way I wanted them. Rod Serling
Benjamin Disraeli quote: "When I want to read a novel, I write one."
When I want to read a novel, I write one. Benjamin Disraeli
You do not write the best you can for the sake of art, but for the sake of returning your talent increased to the invisible God to use or not use as he sees fit. Flannery O'Connor
Nothing was ever in tune. People just blindly grabbed at whatever there was: communism, health foods, zen, surfing, ballet, hypnotism, group encounters, orgies, biking, herbs, Catholicism, weight-lifting, travel, withdrawal, vegetarianism, India, painting, writing, sculpting, composing, conducting, backpacking, yoga, copulating, gambling, drinking, hanging around, frozen yogurt, Beethoven, Back, Buddha, Christ, TM, H, carrot juice, suicide, handmade suits, jet travel, New York City, and then... Charles Bukowski
Let's talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs; Make dust our paper and with rainy eyes. Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth, Let's choose executors and talk of wills William Shakespeare
As soon as you start writing, even if it is under your real name, you start to function as somebody slightly different, as a "writer". You establish from yourself to yourself continuities and a level of coherence which is not quite the same as your real life... All this ends up constituting a kind of neo-identity which is not identical to your identity as a citizen or your social identity, Besides you know this very well, since you want to protect your private life. Michel Foucault
Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sakes. Now, I mean, I'm talking about singing in the shower, I'm talking about dancing to the radio, I'm talking about writing a poem to a friend--a lousy poem. Kurt Vonnegut
Toni Morrison quote: "If there is a book you really want to read but it hasn't been..."
If there is a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. Toni Morrison
Edward Abbey quote: "What is the essence of the art of writing? Part One: Have..."
What is the essence of the art of writing? Part One: Have something to say. Part Two: Say it well. Edward Abbey
Edward Abbey quote: "As for writing, that's a cruel hard business. Unless you're..."
As for writing, that's a cruel hard business. Unless you're very lucky it'll break your heart. Edward Abbey
I don't think everyone wants to create the great American novel, but we all have a dream of telling our stories-of realizing what we think, feel, and see before we die. Writing is a path to meet ourselves and become intimate. Natalie Goldberg
If you can tell stories, create characters, devise incidents, and have sincerity and passion, it doesn't matter a damn how you write. W. Somerset Maugham
I want to write about people who dream and wait for the night to end, who long for the light so they can hold the ones they love. Haruki Murakami
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "People do not deserve good writing, they are so pleased with bad."
People do not deserve good writing, they are so pleased with bad. Ralph Waldo Emerson
I love writing, but hate starting. The page is awfully white and it says, 'You may have fooled some of the people some of the time but those days are over, Giftless. I'm not your agent and I'm not your mommy: I'm a white piece of paper. You wanna dance with me?' and I really, really don't. I'll go peaceable-like. Aaron Sorkin
