If all sentient beings in the universe disappeared, there would remain a sense in which mathematical objects and theorems would continue to exist even though there would be no one around to write or talk about them.

It’s almost a sort of fairy story tale, just what a novelist would write about a discovery Picture Quote #1

Holiday? Is like, what? I’m a hyperactive girl, so it may be boring for me to be on the beach doing nothing. I just need to find a place for three weeks and work but sleep in the morning, maybe write a little bit, have a glass of red wine. That’s my perfect holiday Picture Quote #1

It is by sitting down to write every morning that he becomes a writer. Those who do not do this remain amateurs Picture Quote #1

An acquaintance of mine, a notary by profession, who, by perpetual writing, began first to complain of an excessive wariness of his whole right arm which could be removed by no medicines, and which was at last succeeded by a perfect palsy of the whole arm... He learned to write with his left hand, which was soon thereafter seized with the same disorder Picture Quote #1

Write what haunts you. What keeps you up at night. What you are unable to get out of your mind. Sometimes they are the hardest things to write, but those are often the things that are worth investigating by you specifically Picture Quote #1

The mere habit of writing, of constantly keeping at it, of never giving up, ultimately teaches you how to write Picture Quote #1

There are significant moments in everyone’s day that can make literature. That’s what you ought to write about Picture Quote #1

You can’t be afraid to deal with your demons. You’ve got to go there to be able to write Picture Quote #1

You’d better discover a more important motive than publication for your work or else you’ll go crazy. My sense is that you’ll be writers only if you are convinced that to write is something for which there is no substitute in your life. You must therefore be ambitious for your work rather than for its promotion. The good news here is that if you assign secondary importance to publishing and primary to writing itself, you will write better, and will thus increase your odds of getting publishing Picture Quote #1

Whenever you write, whatever you write, never make the mistake of assuming the audience is any less intelligent than you are Picture Quote #1

This fact was something I also learned from this first novel that I needed personal experience to invent, to fantasize, to create fiction, but at the same time I needed some distance, some perspective on this experience in order to feel free enough to manipulate it and to transform it into fiction. If the experience is very close, I feel inhibited. I have never been able to write fiction about something that has happened to me recently. If the closeness of the real reality, of living reality, is to have a persuasive effect on my imagination, I need a distance, a distance in time and in space Picture Quote #1

My twin sister, my cousin, and I used to write and perform plays for my family. We raided the closets for costumes and fought over parts. I’m sure I was the bossiest one Picture Quote #1

I didn’t write my speech until the night before, and even then I refused to write it out like I would say it, preferring to keep cribbed notes I could come back to if necessary. I wanted this to feel like a conversation because it was what I wanted to say that mattered, not how it looked on paper Picture Quote #1

From my earliest childhood I nourished and cherished the desire to make a creditable journey in a new country, and write such a respectable account of its natural history as should give me a niche amongst the scientific explorers of the globe I inhabit, and hand my name down as a useful contributor of original matter Picture Quote #1

Thank your readers and the critics who praise you, and then ignore them. Write for the most intelligent, wittiest, wisest audience in the universe: Write to please yourself Picture Quote #1

If you do not have an alert and curious interest in character and dramatic situation, if you have no visual imagination and are unable to distinguish between honest emotional reactions and sentimental approaches to life, you will never write a competent short story Picture Quote #1

Write quickly and you will never write well; write well, and you will soon write quickly Picture Quote #1
