Text Quotes
This whole creation is essentially subjective, and the dream is the theater where the dreamer is at once: scene, actor, prompter, stage manager, author, audience, and critic  (Author Quotes) While an author is yet living, we estimate his powers by his worst performance; and when he is dead, we rate him by his best  (Author Quotes) The same common sense which makes an author write good things, makes him dread they are not good enough to deserve reading  (Author Quotes) An author is often obscure to the reader because they proceed from the thought to expression than like the reader from the expression to the thought  (Author Quotes) Prejudice is the sole author of infamies: how many acts are so qualified by an opinion forged out of naught but prejudice!  (Author Quotes) It is excellent discipline for an author to feel that he must say all that he has to say in the fewest possible words, or his readers is sure to skip them  (Author Quotes) A work of art has an author and yet, when it is perfect, it has something which is anonymous about it  (Author Quotes) The only happy author in this world is he who is below the care of reputation  (Author Quotes) People may be taken in once, who imagine that an author is greater in private life than other men  (Author Quotes) Were the offer made true, I would engage to run again, from beginning to end, the same career of life. All I would ask should be the privilege of an author, to correct, in a second edition, certain errors of the first  (Author Quotes) Every reader, if he has a strong mind, reads himself into the book, and amalgamates his thoughts with those of the author  (Author Quotes) The author may not interpret. But he must tell why and how he wrote his book  (Author Quotes) An author is a fool who, not content with boring those he lives with, insists on boring future generations  (Author Quotes) No one’s policing their own minds more than an author. You spend a lot of time in your own head analysing what you think about things, and a philosophy comes  (Author Quotes) An author writes a book, and that’s the book at that point. And if the author writes the book again, then somehow something has gone wrong, if you see what I mean  (Author Quotes) I don’t think about being famous, really. Being an author, I don’t generally get stopped as I walk down the street. It’s not like being a movie star  (Author Quotes) My favorite anything is always relative to the context of present time, place and mood. When I finish a book and want to immediately find another by the same author and no other, that author is elevated to my favorite  (Author Quotes) Life is like a library owned by the author. In it are a few books which he wrote himself, but most of them were written for him  (Author Quotes) My main reason for adopting literature as a profession was that, as the author is never seen by his clients, he need not dress respectably  (Author Quotes) To write history one must be more than a man, since the author who holds the pen of this great justiciary must be free from all preoccupation of interest or vanity  (Author Quotes) A sentence should be read as if its author, had he held a plough instead of a pen, could have drawn a furrow deep and straight to the end  (Author Quotes) We don’t read novels to have an experience like life. Heck, we’re living lives, complete with all the incompleteness. We turn to fiction to have an author assure us that it means something  (Author Quotes) We read fine things but never feel them to the full until we have gone the same steps as the author  (Author Quotes) The only way you can truly get to know an author is through the trail of ink he leaves behind him. The person you think you see is only an empty character: truth is always hidden in fiction  (Author Quotes) I know that an author must be brave enough to chop away clinging tentacles of good taste for the sake of a great work. But this is no great work, you see  (Author Quotes) ... characters are not born like people, of woman; they are born of a situation, a sentence, a metaphor containing in a nutshell a basic human possibility that the author thinks no one else has discovered or said something essential about  (Author Quotes) The author who benefits you most is not the one who tells you something you did not know before, but the one who gives expression to the truth that has been dumbly struggling in you for utterance  (Author Quotes) As an inspiration to the author, I do not think the cat can be over-estimated. He suggests so much grace, power, beauty, motion, mysticism. I do not wonder that many writers love cats; I am only surprised that all do not  (Author Quotes) This is going to take a while. I’m a fantasy author. We have trouble with the concept of brevity  (Author Quotes) A brilliant author or businesswoman or senator or software engineer is brilliant only in tiny bursts. The rest of the time, they’re doing work that most any trained person could do  (Author Quotes)
