A presentation copy... Is a copy of a book whoch does not sell, sent you by the author, with his foolish autograph at the beginning of it; for which, if a stranger, he only demands your friendship; if a brother author, he expects from you a book of yours, which does not sell, in return Picture Quote #1

Try to understand what the author wished to do, and do not blame him for not achieving what he did not attempt Picture Quote #1

A narrative is like a room on whose walls a number of false doors have been painted; while within the narrative, we have many apparent choices of exit, but when the author leads us to one particular door, we know it is the right one because it opens Picture Quote #1

The reader cannot create; that has been done for him by the author. The reader can only interpret, giving the author a fair chance to make his impression Picture Quote #1

To ask an author who hopes to be a serious writer if his work is autobiographical is like asking a spider where he buys his thread. The spider gets his thread right out of his own guts, and that is where the author gets his writing Picture Quote #1

It is in this matter that I fall foul of so many American writers on writing; they seem to think that writing is a confidence game by means of which the author cajoles a restless, dull-witted, shallow audience into hearing his point of view. Such an attitude is base, and can only beget base prose Picture Quote #1

Every author, however modest, keeps a most outrageous vanity chained like a madman in the padded cell of his breast Picture Quote #1
