Text Quotes
I won’t read a new graphic comic novel until the writer has completed the entire series. I got burned a few times when I got turned on to a book, plowed through it only to find out the author was in the middle of writing the next (Author Quotes)
I wanted to be an author as far back as I can remember, mixed with occasional bouts of wanting to be a werewolf when I grew up. But mostly, when I daydreamed, it was about being an author (Author Quotes)
Most readers of historical fiction are content to just get caught up in a good story, and that is what I want to do as an author. I am not concerned with people knowing exactly what I made up and what is real (Author Quotes)
Adaptation of books is never a success. When the author wants to make it, it’s even worse (Author Quotes)

Is it not superfluous to write more than one novel if the writer has not become, say, a new man? Obviously, all the novels of an author not infrequently belong together and are to a certain degree only one novel (Author Quotes)

I think like a genius, I write like a distinguished author, and I speak like a child (Author Quotes)
The more gifted and talkative one’s characters are, the greater the chances of their resembling the author in tone or tint of mind (Author Quotes)
When we see a natural style, we are astonished and charmed; for we expected to see an author, and we find a person (Author Quotes)
I don’t think that you can be prescriptive about anything, I mean, life is too complicated. Maybe there are novels where the author has not in the least thought about it in terms of film, which can be turned into good films (Author Quotes)
Making a book is a craft, like making a clock; it needs more than native wit to be an author (Author Quotes)
The secret to being a writer is that you have to write. It’s not enough to think about writing or to study literature or plan a future life as an author. You really have to lock yourself away, alone, and get to work (Author Quotes)
The way a book is read, which is to say, the qualities a reader brings to a book can have as much to do with its worth as anything the author puts into it (Author Quotes)
Be sure that you go to the author to get at his meaning, not to find yours (Author Quotes)
For an author to write as he speaks is just as reprehensible as the opposite fault, to speak as he writes; for this gives a pedantic effect to what he says, and at the same time makes him hardly intelligible (Author Quotes)

The style of an author should be the image of his mind, but the choice and command of language is the fruit of exercise (Author Quotes)
A creation of importance can only be produced when its author isolates himself, it is a child of solitude (Author Quotes)
The two most engaging powers of an author are to make new things familiar, familiar things new (Author Quotes)
The difference is slight, to the influence of an author, whether he is read by five hundred readers, or by five hundred thousand; if he can select the five hundred, he reaches the five hundred thousand (Author Quotes)
A popular author is one who writes what the people think. Genius invites them to think something else (Author Quotes)
I would rather be attacked than unnoticed. For the worst thing you can do to an author is to be silent as to his works (Author Quotes)
