Text Quotes
I like and I love everything that has to do with cinema: writing, directing, editing, creating music, and even acting (Writing Quotes)
Often I find that poems predict what I’m going to do later in my own writing, and often I find that poems predict my life. So I think poetry is the most intense expression of feeling that we have (Writing Quotes)
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 (Writing Quotes)
When you reduce a woman to writing, she makes you think of a thousand other women (Writing Quotes)
When you live guided by intuition rather than thought, your life dances like writing on water, fresh and untraceable (Writing Quotes)
And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is a gift and a privilege, not a right (Writing Quotes)
Work on a good piece of writing proceeds on three levels: a musical one, where it is composed; an architectural one, where it is constructed; and finally, a textile one, where it is woven (Writing Quotes)
Writing is a deeper sleep than death. Just as one wouldn’t pull a corpse from its grave, I can’t be dragged from my desk at night (Writing Quotes)
Writing a book has about it some of the anxiety of telling a joke and having to wait several years to know whether or not it was funny (Writing Quotes)
Too often we take notes on writing, we think about writing but never do it. I want you to walk into the heart of the storm, written words dripping off hair, eyelids, hanging from hands (Writing Quotes)
Writing fiction takes me out of time. I sit down and the clock will not exist for me for a few hours. That’s probably as close to immortal as we’ll ever get (Writing Quotes)
Writing is therapeutic. It helps you cope with issues that seem gargantuan at the time. The process of expressing yourself about a problem, editing your thoughts, and writing some more can help you control issues that you face (Writing Quotes)
For anyone who is: just keep writing. Keep reading. If you are meant to be a writer, a storyteller, it’ll work itself out. You just keep feeding it your energy, and giving it that crucial chance to work itself out. By reading and writing (Writing Quotes)
Writing is another powerful way to sharpen the mental saw. Keeping a journal of our thoughts, experiences, insights, and learnings promotes mental clarity, exactness, and context (Writing Quotes)
I always say about my daughters, they save me from my miserable self. They take me out, you know, a comedian, you could live in your head a lot. And you’re writing and you’re doubting. But when I’m with my kids and my family, it’s all about them (Writing Quotes)
Writing is very improvisational. It’s like trying to fix a broken sewing machine with safety pins and rubber bands. A lot of tinkering (Writing Quotes)
When I sit down at my writing desk, time seems to vanish. I think it’s a wonderful way to spend one’s life (Writing Quotes)
As an aspiring artist, you should strive for originality of vision. Have something to say and a fresh way of saying it. No story is worth the writing, no picture worth the making, if it’s not the work of the imagination (Writing Quotes)
I am looking for the novelists whose writing is an extension of their intellect rather than an extension of their neurosis (Writing Quotes)
The first law for the historian is that he shall never dare utter an untruth. The second is that he shall suppress nothing that is true. Moreover, there shall be no suspicion of partiality in his writing, or of malice (Writing Quotes)
Writing is like a little hole in reality that you can go through and you can get out and you can be someplace else for a while (Writing Quotes)
And, you know, I liked writing humor. Well, I should say, I wanted to write seriously, but it kept turning funny (Writing Quotes)
The arrogance that says analysing the relationship between reasons and causes is more important than writing a philosophy of shyness or sadness or friendship drives me nuts. I can’t accept that (Writing Quotes)
I feel I’m able to get rid of any demons lurking in my psyche through my writing, which leaves me free to create all of this and to enjoy our family life, stepping away from all the fictional traumas and the dramas. If I write about family in crisis, then I won’t have to live through it, I guess (Writing Quotes)
Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public (Writing Quotes)
I think every professor and writer is in some way an exhibitionist because his or her normal activity is a theatrical one. When you give a lesson the situation is the same as writing a book. You have to capture the attention, the complicity of your audience (Writing Quotes)
The beginning and the end are never really the journey of discovery for me. It is the middle that remains a puzzle until well into the writing. That’s how life is most of the time, isn’t it? You know where you are and where you hope to wind up. It’s the getting there that’s challenging (Writing Quotes)
A writer is someone who spends years patiently trying to discover the second being inside him, and the world that makes him who he is: when I speak of writing, what comes first to my mind is not a novel, a poem, or literary tradition, it is a person who shuts himself up in a room, sits down at a table, and alone, turns inward; amid its shadows, he builds a new world with words (Writing Quotes)
Being incomprehensible offers unparalleled protection against having nothing to say... but writing with simplicity requires courage, for there is a danger that one will be overlooked, dismissed as simpleminded by those with a tenacious belief that the impassable prose is a hallmark of intelligence (Writing Quotes)
When things are going well, you do have the sense that what you’re writing is being fed to you in some way. Auden compared writing a poem to cleaning an old piece of slate until the letters appear. The only way you could reveal your God is perhaps under hypnosis. It’s sacred and it’s secret, even to the writer (Writing Quotes)
