Writers Quotes

It seems to me that many writers, by virtue of environments of culture, art and education, slip into writing because of their environments Picture Quote #1

I had neither expert aid nor advice. I studied no courses in writing; until a year or so ago, I never read a book by anybody advising writers how to write Picture Quote #1

I do borrow from other writers, shamelessly! I can only say in my defense, like the woman brought before the judge on a charge of kleptomania, I do steal, but, your Honor, only from the very best stores Picture Quote #1

Literature suffers because writers give their books to colleagues who will then write glowing reviews or saccharine introductions Picture Quote #1

Some of our finest writers, organizers, artists, and scholars in the 60s as well as today, have been lesbian and gay, and history will bear me out Picture Quote #1

Nothing is more irritating than to hear honest writers protest about depravity when one is quite certain that they make these noises without knowing what they are protesting about Picture Quote #1

I think young writers should get other degrees first, social sciences, arts degrees or even business degrees. What you learn is research skills, a necessity because a lot of writing is about trying to find information Picture Quote #1

And writers say, as the most forward bud Is eaten by the canker ere it blow, even so by love the young and tender wit Is turned to folly, blasting in the bud, losing his verdure even in the prime Picture Quote #1

France is not poetic; she even feels, in fact, a congenital horror of poetry. Among the writers who use verse, those whom she will always prefer are the most prosaic Picture Quote #1

How some of the writers I come across get through their books without dying of boredom is beyond me Picture Quote #1

I have learned to respect ideas, wherever they come from. Often they come from clients. Account executives often have big creative ideas, regardless of what some writers think Picture Quote #1

In fact, I think for a lot of writers, it’s so hard to be read Picture Quote #1

I think the criticism that I take to heart is from other writers that I respect Picture Quote #1

The good writing of any age has always been the product of someone’s neurosis, and we’d have a mighty dull literature if all the writers that came along were a bunch of happy chuckleheads Picture Quote #1

I need you to do more than survive. As writers, as revolutionaries, tell the truth, your truth in your own way. Do not buy into their system of censorship, imagining that if you drop this character or hide that emotion, you can slide through their blockades. Do not eat your heart out in the hope of pleasing them Picture Quote #1

You can live with me in this house I’ve built out of writers blocks Picture Quote #1

Probably all of us, writers and readers alike, set out into exile, or at least into a certain kind of exile, when we leave childhood behind... The immigrant, the nomad, the traveler, the sleepwalker all exist, but not the exile, since every writer becomes an exile simply by venturing into literature, and every reader becomes an exile simply by opening a book Picture Quote #1

Writers are a product of where we come from but by looking at alternatives to the culture in which we live, we can find ways to change and hopefully improve it Picture Quote #1

My grandfather had been a newspaper reporter, as was my uncle. They were pretty good writers and so I thought maybe somewhere down the line I would do some writing Picture Quote #1

Copywriters, journalists, mainstream authors, ghostwriters, bloggers and advertising creatives have as much right to think of themselves as good writers as academics, poets, or literary novelists Picture Quote #1

I think one of the reasons musicians keep doing what they do and writers keep doing what they do, is that we’re totally unsuited for anything else. And I for one am much too lazy Picture Quote #1

All writers are liars. They twist events to suit themselves. They make use of their own tragedies to make a better story... They are terrible people Picture Quote #1

I don’t think writers are any smarter than other people. I think they may be more compelling in their stupidity, or in their confusion Picture Quote #1

Ignorance and arrogance are a lethal combination. Nowhere do we see that more clearly among writers and performers who pontificate as historians when they know nothing about history Picture Quote #1

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, writers will go to stupefying lengths to get the infernal roar of words out of their skulls and onto paper Picture Quote #1

Happy the land where the writers are sad, the merchants satisfied, the rich melancholic, and the populace content Picture Quote #1

You have to be careful what you say in front of comedy writers because they will absolutely make fun of it in the next episode Picture Quote #1

Women writers lift themselves up from the depths; as they rise, each brings with her what she is able to carry Picture Quote #1

Both my mother and I have close groups of friends that include other writers, and these friendships are very important to us Picture Quote #1

Science fiction offers an intensely bracing angle of view for writers to adopt, especially in a time of constant innovation and crisis, and it is a scandal that in 1999 so many writers have written it and continue to write it in obscurity Picture Quote #1
