Text Quotes
What I’m constantly striving for in my prose is clarity. So that, ideally, the writing will become so transparent that the reader will forget that the medium of communication is language (Prose Quotes)
Writers quite often starve. And I’m mainly just writing critical prose and poetry, that’s a formula for starvation (Prose Quotes)
Maybe it is something to do with age, but I have become fonder of poetry than of prose (Prose Quotes)
It is also true that one can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one’s own personality. Good prose is like a windowpane (Prose Quotes)

Work on good prose has three steps: a musical stage when it is composed, an architectonic one when it is built, and a textile one when it is woven (Prose Quotes)
It is no longer possible for lyric poetry to express the immensity of our experience. Life has grown too cumbersome, too complicated. We have acquired values which are best expressed in prose (Prose Quotes)
Music, when combined with a pleasurable idea, is poetry; music, without the idea, is simply music; the idea, without the music, is prose, from its very definitiveness (Prose Quotes)

The poet gives us his essence, but prose takes the mold of the body and mind (Prose Quotes)
If it doesn’t work horizontally as prose... it probably won’t work any better vertically pretending to be poetry (Prose Quotes)
Everything that’s prose isn’t verse and everything that isn’t verse is prose. Now you see what it is to be a scholar! (Prose Quotes)
If you want to tell the untold stories, if you want to give voice to the voiceless, you’ve got to find a language. Which goes for film as well as prose, for documentary as well as autobiography. Use the wrong language, and you’re dumb and blind (Prose Quotes)
Any man who can write a page of living prose adds something to our life, and the man who can, as I can, is surely the last to resent someone who can do it even better. An artist cannot deny art, nor would he want to. A lover cannot deny love (Prose Quotes)
A lot of times you get people writing wonderful sentences and paragraphs, and they fall in love with their prose style, but the stories really aren’t that terrific (Prose Quotes)
So long as I remain alive and well I shall continue to feel strongly about prose style, to love the surface of the earth, and to take a pleasure in solid objects and scraps of useless information (Prose Quotes)
The young student sits with his head bent over his books, and his mind straying in youth’s dreamland; where prose is prowling on the desk and poetry hiding in the heart (Prose Quotes)
Many people become bankrupt through having invested too heavily in the prose of life. To have ruined one’s self over poetry is an honor (Prose Quotes)
A good sentence in prose should be like a good line in poetry, unchangeable, as rhythmic, as sonorous (Prose Quotes)
That prose is a verse, and verse is a prose; convincing all, by demonstrating plain – poetic souls delight in prose insane (Prose Quotes)
No subject is terrible if the story is true, if the prose is clean and honest, and if it affirms courage and grace under pressure (Prose Quotes)
And now more than anything I want beautiful prose. I relish it more and more exquisitely (Prose Quotes)
A book that bores me to tears is a book that neglects character building and quality of prose (Prose Quotes)
I could define poetry this way: it is that which is lost out of both prose and verse in translation (Prose Quotes)
Nothing flatters me more than to have it assumed that I could write prose, unless it be to have it assumed that I once pitched a baseball with distinction (Prose Quotes)
I have a much greater ambition to be the best racket player than the best prose writer (Prose Quotes)
The words in prose ought to express the intended meaning, and no more; if they attract attention to themselves, it is, in general, a fault (Prose Quotes)
I am not a great prose stylist. I’m a storyteller. There are thousands of people who don’t like what I do. Fortunately, there are millions who do (Prose Quotes)
When seriously explored, the short story seems to me the most difficult and disciplining form of prose writing extant. Whatever control and technique I may have I owe entirely to my training in this medium (Prose Quotes)
A work of fiction should be, for its author, a journey into the unknown, and the prose should convey the difficulties of the journey (Prose Quotes)
