Reader Quotes

When you look at ‘Grapes of Wrath,’ the weakest moments are those in which Steinbeck is spouting a political idea directly at the reader. The book’s real power comes from its slower, broader movement Picture Quote #1

I have great faith in the intelligence of the American viewer and reader to put two and two together and come up with four Picture Quote #1

I’m a great reader of history. I love - I have been reading history since I was a kid, and learning the lessons globally of what happened with people Picture Quote #1

I try not to picture a reader when I’m writing. It’s like trying to make a great table but not picturing anybody sitting at it Picture Quote #1

The poet or the story-teller who cannot give the reader a little ghostly pleasure at times never can be either a really great writer or a great thinker Picture Quote #1

In a sense, there’s a great truth to that, but, also I was a great reader Picture Quote #1

To be a good editor or a good writer, I think you really need to be a great reader first Picture Quote #1

I have the most devoted and loyal following. I could probably type up my grocery list and they’d all want to read it. I love that they’re willing to let me go wherever I need to go as an author, and they’re happy to come along for the ride as the reader Picture Quote #1

There are people who specialise in lettering, and I’ve had my hand lettering made into a digital font. I picked up a copy of the ‘Dandy’ the other week, and I was amazed to see that it was completely lettered in my hand-lettering font. It was quite a thrill, really, having been a ‘Dandy’ reader years and years ago Picture Quote #1

I think all tragedies are best told with some humor. You have to relieve the darkness to let the reader get through it. Also, that life has happiness and sadness mixed together. If you told a story that was all darkness, it wouldn’t be real Picture Quote #1

Don’t ever let the other stuff get in the way of your inherent skills as a kick-butt storyteller. Move the reader, make them happy and sad and excited and scared. Make them stare into space after they’ve put the book down, thinking about the tale that’s become a part of them Picture Quote #1

As a reader, I don’t feel a story has an obligation to make me happy. I want stories to show me a bigger world than the one I know Picture Quote #1

Endings are the toughest, harder than beginnings. They must satisfy the expectations you have hopefully generated in your reader - not frustrate them, leave the reader grasping at elusive strings Picture Quote #1

There’s an unwritten compact between you and the reader. If someone enters a bookstore and sets down hard earned money (energy) for your book, you owe that person some entertainment and as much more as you can give Picture Quote #1

Such is the endless dilemma of dialect. Not every reader will ever agree with the way that I handle it, no matter how hard I work to keep everything readable. But again it’s that balance I have to maintain between keeping it easy and keeping it real, and I know that I’ll never please everyone Picture Quote #1

This is such a different time, and we are such a different-sized magazine. And yes, today the average reader is older, but we have a wide span of ages. You can enter ‘Allure’ as a 14-year-old and read about acne, and then in your 60s you can read about face lifts and injections and everything in between Picture Quote #1

When you’re writing stuff that’s already clotted with neologisms and trying to get across fairly abstruse concepts, you’re already putting a heavy burden on the reader Picture Quote #1

Every good Book is a self-help Book-it helps the reader, through seeing himself and his own experiences reflected in the book, to gain new light on his own problems.- Rollo May Picture Quote #1

A poem is a frozen moment melted by each reader for themselves to flow into the here and now Picture Quote #1
