Text Quotes
The mark of a great writer: who sees his own time, but with a detachment that makes him communicable to other ages  (Writer Quotes) The role of the writer is not simply to arrange being according to his own lights; he must also serve as a medium to being and remain open to its often unfathomable dictates. This is the only way the work can transcend its creator and radiate its meaning  (Writer Quotes) I'm really clear about what my life mission is now. There's no more depression or lethargy, and I feel like I've returned to the athlete I once was. I'm integrating all the parts of me - jock, musician, writer, poet, philosopher - and becoming stronger as a result  (Writer Quotes) I'm clearly most well known for my music. Eventually, ultimately, I'll be writing books. I'm still writing articles now. I just consider myself a writer  (Writer Quotes) Every human being has hundreds of separate people living under his skin. The talent of a writer is his ability to give them their separate names, identities, personalities and have them relate to other characters living with him  (Writer Quotes) Songwriting is something I really need to work on. I don't have very many songs but I really love it. I would love to be a great song writer some day  (Writer Quotes) But whatever my failure, I have this thing to remember - that I was a pioneer in my profession, just as my grandfathers were in theirs, in that I was the first man in this section to earn his living as a writer  (Writer Quotes) But what I hope for from a book - either one that I write or one that I read - is transparency. I want the story to shine through. I don't want to think of the writer  (Writer Quotes) When you translate poetry in particular, you're obliged to look at how the writer with whom you're working puts together words, sentences, phrases, the triple tension between the line of verse, the syntax and the sentence  (Writer Quotes) Our Soviet writer must be guided in his world only by the need of the people, useful for the society  (Writer Quotes) Every great or even every very good writer makes the world over according to his own specifications  (Writer Quotes) I'm more of a writer than an actor, and I used to say that I'm mostly an improviser, though I haven't improvised in awhile  (Writer Quotes) One writer, for instance, excels at a plan or a title page, another works away at the body of the book, and a third is a dab at an index  (Writer Quotes) The sketch should lead the cutting pattern, which is to say content should dictate style, which is to say that in TV the writer is king  (Writer Quotes) One writer excels at a plan or a title - page; another works away at the body of the book; and a third is a dab hand at an index  (Writer Quotes) Never anger a sci-fi writer. These people destroy entire planets over lunch. Imagine what they'll do to you  (Writer Quotes) To read a writer is for me not merely to get an idea of what he says, but to go off with him and travel in his company  (Writer Quotes) I was brought up in the great tradition of the late nineteenth century: that a writer never complains, never explains and never disdains  (Writer Quotes) When the writer (or the artist in general) says he has worked without giving any thought to the rules of the process, he simply means he was working without realizing he knew the rules  (Writer Quotes) I always assume that a good book is more intelligent than its author. It can say things that the writer is not aware of  (Writer Quotes) The writer may very well serve a movement of history as its mouthpiece, but he cannot of course create it  (Writer Quotes) The writer must earn money in order to be able to live and to write, but he must by no means live and write for the purpose of making money  (Writer Quotes) At one time if you were a black writer you had to be one of the best writers in the world to be published. You had to be great. Now you can be good. Mediocre. and that's good  (Writer Quotes) If you want to be a writer, you have to write every day... You don't go to a well once but daily. You don't skip a child's breakfast or forget to wake up in the morning  (Writer Quotes) If I were a better artist, I'd be a painter, and if I were a better writer, I'd write books - but I'm not, so I draw cartoons!  (Writer Quotes) What an ornament and safeguard is humor! Far better than wit for a poet and writer. It is a genius itself, and so defends from the insanities  (Writer Quotes) If I have any regrets, I could say that I'm sorry I wasn't a better writer or a better singer  (Writer Quotes) Fast food is hugely important in the life of a comedy writer. All we do is order in, and what we're going to eat is hotly debated  (Writer Quotes) The creative writer does the same as the child at play; he creates a world of fantasy which he takes very seriously  (Writer Quotes) There was silence. No one looked at me. People pretended to be absorbed in their phones. One writer didn't even have a phone, so he just pretended to be absorbed in his hand  (Writer Quotes)
