Writer Quotes

The existence of the writer is to write, and to write is to tell the truth Picture Quote #1

If you don’t want to be in a story, don’t know a writer Picture Quote #1

The role of the writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say. Most of the writing today which is called fiction contains such a poverty of language, such triteness, that it is a shrunken, diminished world we enter, poorer and more formless than the poorest cripple deprived of ears and eyes and tongue. The writer’s responsibility is to increase, develop our senses, expand our vision, heighten our awareness and enrich our articulateness Picture Quote #1

If you are to become a writer you’ll have to stop fooling with words Picture Quote #1

Even though language has its richness the relationship between language and the writer is always like a stone and you have to make the stone human Picture Quote #1

I just knew I would be a writer. It just seemed the only sensible thing to do Picture Quote #1

Don’t scatter your fire! You are a prose writer: stick to your own tool! Picture Quote #1

The unit of the poet is the word, the unit of the prose writer is the sentence Picture Quote #1

It’s not for the writer to say whether the thing is successful or not Picture Quote #1

We don’t often talk about the fact that writing is all about rhythm. When you get too up in your head, you can lose a lot of your writing. Sometimes what a writer really needs to do is go dancing Picture Quote #1

It has no meaning, what do you use to write, the only thing that is important is: what do you write. A machine to write a book instead of a writer is not invented yet, and probably will never be Picture Quote #1

I would want to travel the world and write about it. To be a famous writer Picture Quote #1

The first thing you have to understand is that I was not desperate to be a writer. I was never a closet writer filing away notes in a cupboard Picture Quote #1

Polishing: a useful lesson for the hopeful writer. You say your tormented prose doesn’t read as well as mine? Neither does mine, at first! Picture Quote #1

An intellectuals weapon is writing, but sometimes people react as if it were a firearm. A writer can do a lot to change the situation, but as far as I know, no dictatorship has fallen because of a sonnet Picture Quote #1

The sentences I write have their roots in song and poetry, and take their bearings from music and painting, as much as from the need to impart mere information, or mirror anything. I am not a realist writer, even if I seem like one Picture Quote #1

I get inspired by my friends, and if a friend is a writer, that is even deeper Picture Quote #1

It was not cool to be that fun, bubbly kid, so I would just go off on my own and sing and make up songs, and that’s how I think I developed into the kind of artist and writer that I am Picture Quote #1

A writer is basically someone who shares his or her value or vision of the world Picture Quote #1

The existence of the writer is an argument against the existence of the soul, for the soul has obviously taken flight from the real ego, but not improved itself, only become a writer Picture Quote #1

I was really interested in piano and sort of discovered that I was a writer when I was about 13 and started writing. And it was my secret thing and my passion Picture Quote #1

I am a comic writer, which means I get to slay the dragons, and shoot the bull Picture Quote #1

The writer walks out of his workroom in a daze. He wants a drink. He needs it Picture Quote #1

Two hours of writing fiction leaves this writer completely drained. For those two hours he has been in a different place with totally different people Picture Quote #1

Action, reaction, motivation, emotion, all have to come from the characters. Writing a love scene requires the same elements from the writer as any other Picture Quote #1

It’s a luxury being a writer, because all you ever think about is life Picture Quote #1

The final lesson a writer learns is that everything can nourish the writer. The dictionary, a new word, a voyage, an encounter, a talk on the street, a book, a phrase learned Picture Quote #1

If a young writer can refrain from writing, he shouldn’t hesitate to do so Picture Quote #1

When I was sixteen or seventeen, I wanted to be a writer. I wanted to be a playwright. But everything I wrote, I thought, was weak. And I can remember falling asleep in tears because I had no talent the way I wanted to have Picture Quote #1

I don’t understand how you can be a decent writer and not know people Picture Quote #1
