Text Quotes
Sex in a woman’s world has the same currency a penny has in a man’s. Every penny saved is a penny earned in one world and in the next every sexual adventure is a literary experience  (Literary Quotes) A contemporary artist can use the findings of all epochs and all styles, from the most primitive literary expressions up to the most refined products of the baroque  (Literary Quotes) I spent the first twenty years of my writing career preparing for the mystery genre, which is my favorite literary form  (Literary Quotes) For the last half of my life I have had the doubtful benefit of a brother whose literary reputation is much greater than my own  (Literary Quotes) There is far too much literary criticism of the wrong kind. That is why I never could have survived as an academic  (Literary Quotes) I don’t want to promote my own image either. I don’t like going on television or mixing in literary circles  (Literary Quotes) A literary critic is someone who can’t write, but who loves to show he would have been a wonderful writer if only he could!  (Literary Quotes) The one thing I would like more credit for is being part of a movement which involves recognising the importance of plot and asserting that books of literary worth could be written that had plots  (Literary Quotes) As I said earlier, there are no writers who could create a literary vision of the new reality  (Literary Quotes) I think that there are empty ecological niches in the literary landscape crying to be filled and when a book more or less fills a niche it’s seized on, even when it’s a far from perfect fit  (Literary Quotes) Women need to become literary criminals, break the literary laws and reinvent their own, because the established laws prevent women from presenting the reality of their lives  (Literary Quotes) People who rarely read long books, or even short stories, still appreciate the greatest examples of the shortest literary genres. I have long been fascinated by these short genres. They seem to lie just where my heart is, somewhere between literature and philosophy  (Literary Quotes) The literary critic, or the critic of any other specific form of artistic expression, may detach himself from the world for as long as the work of art he is contemplating appears to do the same  (Literary Quotes) To keep a diary is to attempt a difficult literary form. Its effectiveness is likely to derive from a special blend of honesty and appetite for life that gives the power to record everyday happenings while magically freeing them from banality and triviality  (Literary Quotes) Mysteries and thrillers are not the same things, though they are literary siblings. Roughly put, I would say the distinction is that mysteries emphasize motive and psychology whereas thrillers rely more heavily on action and plot  (Literary Quotes) In truth, even if they have an imperfect insight into their own methods, I still slightly mistrust writers of fiction who are assured literary critics; it makes me suspect that they favour the word over the world it should describe. Such scribes fall victim too easily to the solecism of equating style with morality  (Literary Quotes) I was a businessman for 16 years of my life, so when I started writing, I wanted to keep my literary identity separate  (Literary Quotes) A literary academic can no more pass a bookstore than an alcoholic can pass a bar  (Literary Quotes) The makers of literature are those who have seen and felt the miraculous interestingness of the universe. If you have formed... literary taste... your life will be one long ecstasy of denying that the world is a dull place  (Literary Quotes) A bit of trash now and then is good for the severest reader. It provides the necessary roughage in the literary diet  (Literary Quotes) Habits of literary composition are perfectly familiar to me. One of the rarest of all the intellectual accomplishments that a man can possess is the grand faculty of arranging his ideas. Immense privilege! I possess it. Do you?  (Literary Quotes) Of course I know that the twins are only words on a page, and I’m certainly not the sort of writer who talks to his characters or harbours any illusions about the creative process. But at the same time, I think it’s juvenile and arrogant when literary writers compulsively remind their readers that the characters aren’t real. People know that already. The challenge is to make an intelligent reader suspend disbelief, to seduce them into the reality of a narrative  (Literary Quotes) It never really occurred to her that literary men, if they like women at all, do not want literary women but girls  (Literary Quotes) ... When my brain begins to reel from my literary labors, I make an occassional cheese dip  (Literary Quotes) If you fall into water, you may still be saved. But if you fall down in literary matters, there is no life left for you  (Literary Quotes) That is one thing I am sure of amid my many uncertainties regarding the literary vocation: deep inside, a writer feels that writing is the best thing that ever happened to him, or could ever happen to him, because as far as he is concerned, writing is the best possible way of life, never mind the social, political, or financial rewards of what he might achieve through it  (Literary Quotes) When something is bothering me, I seek refuge. No need to travel far; a trip to the realm of literary memory will suffice. For where can one find more noble distraction, more entertaining company, more delightful enchantment than in literature?  (Literary Quotes) He was intrigued by the power of words, not the literary words that filled the books in the library but the sharp, staccato words that went into the writing of news stories. Words that went for the jugular. Active verbs that danced and raced on the page  (Literary Quotes) Regardless of the popular literary trend of the times, write the thing which lies close to your heart  (Literary Quotes) The best programs are written so that computing machines can perform them quickly and so that human beings can understand them clearly. A programmer is ideally an essayist who works with traditional aesthetic and literary forms as well as mathematical concepts, to communicate the way that an algorithm works and to convince a reader that the results will be correct  (Literary Quotes)
