Text Quotes
The wisdom of hindsight, so useful to historians and indeed to authors of memoirs, is sadly denied to practicing politicians (Authors Quotes)
My own experience is that once a story has been written, one has to cross out the beginning and the end. It is there that we authors do most of our lying... one must ruthlessly suppress everything that is not concerned with the subject. If, in the first chapter, you say there is a gun hanging on the wall, you should make quite sure that it is going to be used further on in the story (Authors Quotes)
In my twenties, it was so important for me to show people I had all these other books and these other sorts of writing in me,.. A lot of authors, if their first book is a success, they’re terrified to write a second one. But in my case, since the first book wasn’t considered a literary book, I was really determined to show people I could do other types of writing (Authors Quotes)
Of all the diversions of life, there is none so proper to fill up its empty spaces as the reading of useful and entertaining authors (Authors Quotes)
For a man to write well, there are required three necessaries: to read the best authors, observe the best speakers, and much exercise of his own style (Authors Quotes)
Best selling authors are always worth listening to, even if you choose to ignore their advice (Authors Quotes)
The inspiration of a single book has made preachers, poets, philosophers, authors, and statesmen. On the other hand, the demoralization of a single book has sometimes made infidels, profligates, and criminals (Authors Quotes)
Criticism is now become mere hangman’s work, and meddles only with the faults of authors ; nay, the critic is disgusted less with their absurdities than excellence ; and you cannot displease him more than in leaving him little room for his malice (Authors Quotes)
The authors of book reviews would consider themselves dishonored were they to mention, as they should, the subject of the book (Authors Quotes)
I’m seeing more and more books by celebrity authors, and I’m not happy to see them. I’d rather see publishing budgets devoted to genuine talents (Authors Quotes)
I can’t imagine why everybody is always so keen for authors to talk about writing. I should have thought it was an author’s business to write, not talk (Authors Quotes)
In old days the public didn’t really mind much about accuracy, but nowadays readers take it upon themselves to write to authors on every possible occasion, pointing out flaws (Authors Quotes)
Authors have to write for their characters, for who they are, that’s the strength of books. Don’t worry about censors. Just write the story you need to tell and the rewards will come (Authors Quotes)
It is a pretty trick of authors to make nature ever in sympathy with man, but as a matter of fact she seldom is (Authors Quotes)
Female authors were still using male names when I was young, or they were neatly shoehorned into womens books except for those few that men could always point at when the disparity was pointed out (Authors Quotes)
I believe that everything is political, and as such it should concern all of us. Authors who claim they don’t deal with politics in their work are being naive, because even that is a political stance (Authors Quotes)
Im not one of those authors who claims to hear voices in my head or let the characters speak through me, whatever that might mean (Authors Quotes)
As many have noted, the peril for authors is that our work space is too easily our play space (Authors Quotes)
My advice to authors would be to try to do something original rather than to try to anticipate what the market is looking for (Authors Quotes)
The biggest challenge of my career, which is something that authors of genre fiction face all the time, is writing something fresh and new and at the same time meeting reader expectations (Authors Quotes)
Editors and their authors seldom form deep friendships for the same reason that psychiatrists and their patients keep their distance: The relationship requires candor that mixes poorly with intimacy (Authors Quotes)
Authors frequently say things they are unaware of; only after they have gotten the reactions of their readers do they discover what they have said (Authors Quotes)
Authors are ordinary people who usually start to live apart, in the imagination, because they don’t fit in with normal, healthy people (Authors Quotes)
Great authors, when they write about causes, adduce not only those they think are true but also those they do not believe in, provided they have some originality and beauty. They speak truly and usefully enough if they speak ingeniously (Authors Quotes)
Spirituality authors, who are generally forgiving of most human foibles... take a hard line on intellectualism... Skepticism they view with contempt, as the refuge of the unenlightened (Authors Quotes)
The reading of all good books is indeed like a conversation with the noblest men of past centuries who were the authors of them, nay a carefully studied conversation, in which they reveal to us none but the best of their thoughts (Authors Quotes)
I have wanted to write from a young age, but working with so many gifted authors and editors over the years has taught me so much. I doubt I would be where I am today without that amazing experience (Authors Quotes)
Booksellers are the most valuable destination for the lonely, given the numbers of books that were written because authors couldn’t find anyone to talk to (Authors Quotes)
Books choose their authors; the act of creation is not entirely a rational and conscious one (Authors Quotes)
... it is a sneaking piece of cowardice for authors to put feigned names to their works, as if, like bastards of their brain, they were afraid to own them (Authors Quotes)
