Writers Quotes

Never to have lived is best, ancient writers say. Never to have drawn the breath of life, never to have looked into the eye of day; The second best’s a gay goodnight and quickly turn away Picture Quote #1

I think it helps the writers to sell their books if they announce my attachment. But it doesn’t mean that I’m going to make the movies in the next year or two or three Picture Quote #1

I’m sure there are writers who are great businessmen, but I never met any Picture Quote #1

All that writers can do is keep trying to say what is deepest in their hearts Picture Quote #1

Writers have to have a knack for listening. I need to be able to hear what is being said to me by the voices I create Picture Quote #1

The writers who have nothing to say, are the ones you can buy, the others have too high a price Picture Quote #1

Writers are lampposts and critics are dogs. Ask lampposts what they think about dogs. Does the dog hurt the lamppost? Picture Quote #1

Writers do not live one life, they live two. There is the living and then there is the writing. There is the second tasting, the delayed reaction Picture Quote #1

Writers are really people who write books not because they are poor, but because they are dissatisfied with the books which they could buy but do not like Picture Quote #1

Don’t wait for the muse. She has a lousy work ethic. Writers just write Picture Quote #1

Don’t be too precious or attached to anything you write. Let things be malleable. For sketch writers, remember they’re called sketches for a reason. They’re not called oil paintings. Some of them are going to stink. You have to let them stink Picture Quote #1

Art is not the possession of the few who are recognized writers, painters, musicians; it is the authentic expression of any and all individuality Picture Quote #1

People do support themselves as artists and writers, so there’s no need to be all doom and gloom about it. You just have to push forward. You have to follow your vision and hope for the best. You have to write for love Picture Quote #1

The vitality of language lies in its ability to limn the actual, imagined and possible lives of its speakers, readers, writers Picture Quote #1

Our job as writers is to listen, to come home to the four corners of the earth Picture Quote #1

When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again Picture Quote #1

Most of the writers I know are weird hybrids. There’s a strong streak of egomania coupled with extreme shyness. Writing’s kind of like exhibitionism in private. And there’s also a strange loneliness, and a desire to have some kind of conversation with people, but not a real great ability to do it in person Picture Quote #1

When everything is added up, the frequent blows weighted against the sporadic triumphs, this is I have to say not just a vocation, it’s a great gift. But you also know this, for your work, for your passion, every day is a rededication. Painters, dancers, actors, writers, filmmakers. It’s the same for all of you, all of us. Every step is a first step. Every brush stroke is a test. Every scene is a lesson. Every shot is a school. So, let the learning continue Picture Quote #1

It’s a shame publishers send rejection slips. Writers should get something more substantial than a slip that amounts to a pile of confetti. Publishers should send something heavier. Editors should send out rejection bricks, so at the end of a lot of years, you would have something to show besides a wheelbarrow of rejection slips. Instead you could have enough bricks to build a house Picture Quote #1

It’s a bit of a crapshoot out there with young writers right now anyway Picture Quote #1

Why my interest in writers? Well, I’m one, and many of my friends are writers. I know what it’s like to write. I’m interested in the creative process. I’m fascinated by the disparity between who we are on the outside, and what we have bubbling away inside us Picture Quote #1

I just have a thing for writers. Maybe it because I’m just so not a writer Picture Quote #1

I think ethnic and regional labels are insulting to writers and really put restrictions on them. People don’t think your work is quite as universal Picture Quote #1

In a free country it is the duty of writers to pay no attention to duty Picture Quote #1

For comic writers charge Socrates with making the worse appear the better reason Picture Quote #1

There aren’t enough good roles for strong women. I wish we had more female writers. Most of the female characters you see in films today are the ‘poor heartbroken girl.’ Picture Quote #1

Writers aren’t people exactly. Or, if they’re any good, they’re a whole lot of people trying so hard to be one person Picture Quote #1

Writers seldom choose as friends those self-contained characters who are never in trouble, never unhappy or ill, never make mistakes, and always count their change when it is handed to them Picture Quote #1

I have almost never been compared to male writers in any review. All women Picture Quote #1

I think people underestimate the value of collaboration, especially for writers Picture Quote #1
