Text Quotes
It is a wonderful thing in the process of writing when such paper characters are first sketched, and, when one is doing good work, from a certain point in time they come alive and start contradicting the author as well. (Author Quotes)
Just read The Virtue of Minding Your Own Business. Oh my, what currents run deep! Beautifully seen, beautifully told. Praise praise praise . . . Pardon my French, but you are one darn major American writer!---Richard Bach, author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Illusions, on Sandcastle and Other Stories (Author Quotes)
Milla Jovovich introduced me to [anthropologist and author of the Don Juan series of books involving shamanic peyote rituals] Carlos Castaneda because I was all into the hallucinogens for a minute. (Author Quotes)
Flowers don’t tell, they show. That’s the way good books should be too.--Stephanie Skeem. Author of Flotsam (Author Quotes)
The author O. Henry taught me about the value of the unexpected. He once wrote about the noise of flowers and the smell of birds - the birds were chickens and the flowers dried sunflowers rattling against a wall. (Author Quotes)
If you don’t put 99 percent of yourself into the writing, there will be no publishing career. There’s the writer and there’s the author. The author - you don’t ever think about the author. Just think about the writer. So my advice would be, find a way to not care - easier said than done. (Author Quotes)
If only we correct our eating habits than not only we would have perfect body weight but also we can get rid of most of the diseases.- Subodh Gupta , author 7 food habits for weight loss forever. (Author Quotes)
English food writer Elizabeth David, cook and author Richard Olney and the owner of Domaine Tempier Lulu Peyraud have all really inspired the way I think about food. (Author Quotes)
I think it’s a little simplistic to explain a work through the psychology of its author. In other words, that Haneke has emotional problems, so I don’t have to take his films seriously. By using this argument, the viewer retreats from the challenges of the film. (Author Quotes)
A lot of author events are basically hour-long classes in entropy perched on bad seating under bright, hard lights, with - if you’re lucky - bad Chardonnay and cheese on a stick waiting for you at the end of the ride. (Author Quotes)
My #1 job as a thriller author is to give readers the best white-knuckle thrill ride I am capable of. I am first and foremost in the entertainment business. If that suspenseful ride is also terrifying because it hits really close to home, then I am once again doing what I am supposed to do as a thriller author. (Author Quotes)
Adaptation of books is never a success. When the author wants to make it, it’s even worse. (Author Quotes)
The stories I love the most are where the author has a lot of empathy for everyone. The author loves their characters and takes their situations really seriously, and you feel like you’re just dropped into a different world. (Author Quotes)
My favourite book - ‘The Good Soldier’ by Ford Madox Ford, which I have read about 20 times - is different from my favourite author, who is Iris Murdoch. I find her books exciting and unputdownable. Her characters are so carefully studied and in-depth; I love that. (Author Quotes)
To be an author, and an executive producer, and a host, and I don’t even know, I mean I actually have a resume now, which is pretty cool. (Author Quotes)
I have never been a fan of science fiction. For me, fiction has to explore the combinatorial possibilities of people interacting under the constraints imposed by our biology and history. When an author is free to suspend the constraints, it’s tennis without a net. (Author Quotes)
When I was publishing my first books, the previous generation of authors was fading away, so I was welcomed because I was a new author. (Author Quotes)
Every author believes that the book which he is placing before the public will ‘fill a long-felt want,’ and success or failure depends very much on how closely he has been able to gauge the nature of the ‘long-felt want.’ (Author Quotes)
As a journalist, I’m not supposed to be the subject, but as an author, I’m fair game - another ingredient in the media soup. (Author Quotes)
There’s nothing quite so irritating to an author as a family member’s easy confidence that, of course, the book will come. (Author Quotes)
I’ve got lots of favourite authors, but I would say Nicci French because I look more forward to reading her next new book than any other author. (Author Quotes)
I am State Senator Russell Pearce, the author of SB1070, which was signed by Governor Jan Brewer. Fear mongering and misinformation is the tool of the Left against this common sense legislation. (Author Quotes)
Of all the writers I have read, Vladimir Nabokov has made the biggest impression on me because he, despite living through the 1917 February Revolution, forced exile amidst the anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany, the two World Wars and quite a lot of controversy, was an author who never gave up. (Author Quotes)
Unlike a typical professional, I can’t quit my job to become a full-time author; I don’t have that luxury. For me, writing is therapy; if I choose to write full-time, it might start feeling like work. (Author Quotes)
Anita Shreve is an author I adore. I rip through her meaty books and get off on the robust romance immensely - especially if I am feeling less than robust in my real life. (Author Quotes)
The language fictional characters use is chosen for effect, at least if the author is concentrating. (Author Quotes)
There is commerciality in storytelling, even in a film or a piece of literature. These things exist. That’s why stories came to be: to hold attention and, while you’re not looking, you’ll get hopefully some nutritional value that the author has been working up. That’s narrative; that’s passing stuff down. (Author Quotes)
I wrote ‘Mr. In-Between’ very quickly when I was about 23. I wrote the penultimate chapter, then realised I’d done something which was written to the best of my abilities. I panicked. I hesitated to finish the final chapter and went into withdrawal for three years. I decided to pick it up again after I went drinking with author Tim Binding. (Author Quotes)
I’m a journalist and author. I make my living by finding things out and writing about them. (Author Quotes)
A good edit process turns rocks into diamonds, and every author should love that part as much as the creative phase. I do love it. It’s a different side to writing. It’s like the fine-tuning. (Author Quotes)
