Readers Quotes

I think it’s important to leave spaces in a story for readers to fill in from their own experience Picture Quote #1

If you’re a writer, your first duty, a duty you owe to yourself and your readers, and to your writing itself, is to become wonderful. To become the best writer you can possibly be Picture Quote #1

I like the idea of a big caesura between the narratives, a space which readers can fill in with their own speculative history Picture Quote #1

My goal is to teach readers how to treat and respect themselves and each other in an entertaining way. I do that in all of my books Picture Quote #1

Writing, at its best and truest, can offer solace and salvation for both readers and writers Picture Quote #1

I often feel I’m working in a vacuum, or in a country where few readers can hear the sounds Picture Quote #1

People do amazing things for love. Books are full of wonderful stories about this kind of stuff, and stories aren’t just fantasies, you know. They’re so much a part of the people who write them that they practically teach their readers invaluable lessons about life Picture Quote #1

As a reader, you’re often inside one or more character heads, so you know what they’re feeling, even if they can’t exactly say it, or they say it so obliquely that the other characters don’t catch it. Readers are frequently reminded of the gulf between what people say and what they mean, and such moments prod us to become more attuned to gesture, tone, and language Picture Quote #1

I have this belief that children become readers before they can read. They become hooked on books because they were read aloud to as a child Picture Quote #1

It is easier to talk than to listen. Pay attention to your clients, your users, your readers, and your friends. Your design will get better as you listen to other people Picture Quote #1

Experts in literacy and child development have discovered that if children know eight nursery rhymes by heart by the time they’re four years old, they’re usually among the best readers by the time they’re eight Picture Quote #1

Book marketing is like opening doors for your readers to find you, not a stick you hit them with Picture Quote #1

One way to determine if a view is inadequate is to check its consequences in particular cases, sometimes extreme ones, but if someone always decided what the result should be in any case by applying the given view itself, this would preclude discovering it did not correctly fit the case. Readers who hold they would plug in to the machine should notice whether their first impulse was not to do so, followed later by the thought that since only experiences could matter, the machine would be all right after all Picture Quote #1

A common quality I see of people who are successful is that they are voracious readers Picture Quote #1

We are all writers and readers as well as communicators with the need at times to please and satisfy ourselves with the clear and almost perfect thought Picture Quote #1

A poet articulating the dreads and horrors of our time is necessary in order to make readers understand what is happening, really understand it, not just know about it but feel it: and should be accompanied by a willingness on the part of those who write it to take additional action towards stopping the great miseries which they record Picture Quote #1

I live in the same house I’ve lived in for 25 years. I haven’t gone off and bought mansions. Even though my subject is living, living in a mansion wouldn’t do for my readers. I have to keep my credibility alive with my readers, so we’re in the same place. I just make that place nicer and nicer. And that’s a secret. People don’t know that. People think, oh, she lives in this fabulous place, but it’s the same old place. It started out like a farm, it got to be a farmette, then it got to be an estatelet. I built a wall; it helped a lot. But it’s the same place, the same grounded nature Picture Quote #1

Poetry is not a silent art. The poem must perform, unaided, in its reader’s head. Educated readers give themselves a good performance. Educated listeners compare performance with text and with other performances. Good poets use the full resources of language Picture Quote #1

When you write from the heart, you not only light the dark path of your readers, you light your own way as well Picture Quote #1

Inspirational and will challenge readers to get involved in the lives of others to make a difference. Thank you for sharing your wonderful insight and encouragement Picture Quote #1

I cannot pretend I am without fear. But my predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved; I have been given much and I have given something in return; I have read and traveled and thought and written. I have had an intercourse with the world, the special intercourse of writers and readers Picture Quote #1

My books are inert as cordwood till a readers imagination ignites one and an old flame jumps to life Picture Quote #1

Poets, on the face of it, have either got to be easier or to write their own notes; readers have either got to take more trouble over reading or cease to regard notes as pretentious and a sign of bad poetry Picture Quote #1

Literature takes reality and human experience as its starting point, transforms it by means of the imagination, and sends readers back to life with renewed understanding of it and zest for it because of their excursions into a purely imaginary realm Picture Quote #1

We’re in the media business today. We’re in the business of helping authors and publishers market their books to readers. And that’s where we make our money. We sell book launch packages to authors and publishers and really help accelerate, build that early buzz that a book needs to succeed when it launches and accelerate that growth through ads on the site Picture Quote #1

You can’t visit readers where you think they are. You have to invite them home to where you are and try to lure them into your universe. That’s the art of storytelling Picture Quote #1

When I am composing, I try to clear my mind of having to publish, or having to sell a book or find readers. That kind of thinking gets in the way Picture Quote #1

That was asking a lot of my readers, I realized, but I was trying to write the novel I would most enjoy decoding Picture Quote #1

You can get away with breaking all of the other rules at least once in a while, but you can’t get away with breaking this one. Readers will accept almost anything from you if you don’t make them feel they have wasted their time and money. Remember, you can bore readers in a lot of different ways. It doesn’t necessarily take a dearth of action; too much action can get you the same result. Everything in writing, like in life, requires balance Picture Quote #1
