Text Quotes
Poetic language is singularly appropriate for recounting the life of the king who is traditionally accepted as the author of the poetic psalms, some of which are included in the narrative  (Author Quotes) I believe the writer... should always be the final judge. I have always held to that position and have sometimes seen books hurt thereby, but at least as often helped. The book belongs to the author  (Author Quotes) The best author is a dead author, because he’s out of your way and you own the play. Take what he has given you and use it for what you need  (Author Quotes) An author never has a vacation. He’s a walking sponge, sopping up impressions till he’s saturated, then going to his desk and squeezing them out on paper  (Author Quotes) An author who sets his reader on sounding the depths of his own thoughts serves him best  (Author Quotes) The most accomplished literary work would be reduced to nothing by carping criticism, if the author would listen to all critics and allow every one to erase the passage which pleases him the least  (Author Quotes) Criticism discloses that which it would fain conceal, but conceals that which it professes to disclose; it is therefore, read by the discerning, not to discover the merits of an author, but the motives of his critic  (Author Quotes) The easiest books are generally the best; for, whatever author is obscure and difficult in his own language, certainly does not think clearly  (Author Quotes) Quand on voit le style naturel, on est tout e tonne et ravi, car on s’attendait de voir un auteur, et on trouve un homme. When we see a natural style we are quite amazed and delighted, because we expected to see an author and find a man  (Author Quotes) In secluding himself too much from society, an author is in danger of losing that intimate acquaintance with life which is the only sure foundation of power in a writer  (Author Quotes) The mathematician who is without value to mathematicians, the thinker who is obscure or meaningless to thinkers, the dramatist who fails to move the pit, may be wise, may be eminent, but as an author he has failed  (Author Quotes) I think even the characters that are fundamentally evil and wrong, I want people to really love them. I think that’s important to writing believable characters. They don’t have to be likable but they have to be loved, at least by the author  (Author Quotes) As the author you know how you want it to appear on screen and it’s always the content dictating the form  (Author Quotes) As an author, you can’t expect a movie to be an illustration of the book. If that’s what you hope for, you shouldn’t sell the rights  (Author Quotes) When you dream, you are an author, but you do not know how it will end  (Author Quotes) When we are convinced of some great truths, and feel our convictions keenly, we must not fear to express it, although others have said it before us. Every thought is new when an author expresses it in a manner peculiar to himself  (Author Quotes) Literary texts do not exist on bookshelves: they are processes of signification materialized only in the practice of reading. For literature to happen, the reader is quite as vital as the author  (Author Quotes) As a child, I actually wanted to be a lawyer. That was the goal. I didn’t plan to be an author, and then even less, did I plan to produce movies. It all just happened  (Author Quotes) From a really young age, I was reading like a writer. I was reading for the deep understanding of the literature; not simply to hear the story but to understand how the author got the story on the page  (Author Quotes) Once an author finishes a poem, he becomes merely another reader. I may remember what I intended to put into a text, but what matters is what a reader actually finds there which is usually something both more and less than the poet planned  (Author Quotes) I think in fact that unless there is an organic link between the subjective impressions of the author and his objective representation of reality, he will not achieve even superficial credibility, let alone authenticity and inner truth  (Author Quotes) Special qualities are required of the essayist. A poem or a novel may spring from the inner consciousness of an author.. reasoning poers must be brought to reinforce imagination  (Author Quotes) In this work are exhibited, in a very high degree, the two most engaging powers of an author. New things are made familiar, and familiar things are made new  (Author Quotes) There are, indeed, few kinds of composition from which an author, however learned or ingenious, can hope a long continuance of fame  (Author Quotes) I am an atheist. I do not believe in prayers, I believe in work. And my work is that of an author. My pen is my weapon  (Author Quotes) A perfect judge will read each word of wit with the same spirit that its author writ  (Author Quotes) The labors of the true critic are more essential to the author, even, than to the reader  (Author Quotes) Of two evils, had not an author better be tedious than superficial! From an overflowing vessel you may gather more, indeed, than you want, but from an empty one you can gather nothing  (Author Quotes) Negative space is important. When I teach students to read critically I advise them to look for what the author isn’t saying just as carefully as for what he or she is  (Author Quotes) There are different types of readers. People draw lines at which three things intersect: the character, the author, and the reader  (Author Quotes)
