Writer Quotes

I vividly remember being 14. That was the age when I started to get happy: I started being a writer and stopped being a loser Picture Quote #1

We may like well to know what is Plato’s and what is Montesquieu’s or Goethe’s part, and what thought was always dear to the writer himself; but the worth of the sentences consists in their radiancy and equal aptitude to all intelligence. They fit all our facts like a charm. We respect ourselves the more that we know them Picture Quote #1

A writer should get as much education as possible, but just going to school is not enough; if it were, all owners of doctorates would be inspired writers Picture Quote #1

All literature consists of whatever the writer thinks is cool. The reader will like the book to the degree that he agrees with the writer about what’s cool Picture Quote #1

I am hoping that I can be known as a great writer and actor some day, rather than a sex symbol Picture Quote #1

I’m not on the run from anything and I’m not at all clear about what I’m running towards. But as some great writer put it, I want to be certain that when I arrive at death, I’m totally exhausted Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been a writer because I’ve always been a student. My mom’s a retired professor, so I come from a very academic background. I love writing, you know? Picture Quote #1

In times when religious or political faith or hope predominates, the writer functions totally in unison with society, and expresses society’s feelings, beliefs, and hopes in perfect harmony Picture Quote #1

It’s a little bit in the genes because my brother is a journalist and my father was a sports writer Picture Quote #1

My dad was a sports writer when I was younger and then he became just a general columnist. But I grew up with him literally getting into brawls with football coaches Picture Quote #1

Science fiction readers probably have the gene for novelty, and seem to enjoy a cascade of invention as much as a writer enjoys providing one Picture Quote #1

As a writer, you have control of the words you put on the page. But once that manuscript leaves your hand, you give control to the reader. As a director, you are limited by everything: weather, budget, and egos Picture Quote #1

I had never thought of myself as a director and found out that I was not. I am a writer who was able to direct the films that I write Picture Quote #1

You know, you lose a lot of social skills if you’re a writer. You spend too long alone. And it’s forced me to address that Picture Quote #1
