Writer Quotes

The one thing I always come back to as a writer, what I consider my bedrock, is a lot of charged images that appear in the text Picture Quote #1

As a writer, I always tend to take the liberty and the great artistic luxury of a composite form of writing Picture Quote #1

A writer should express criticism and indignation at the dark side of society and the ugliness of human nature, but we should not use one uniform expression Picture Quote #1

Never believe anything a writer tells you about himself. A man comes to believe in the end the lies he tells himself about himself Picture Quote #1

You can teach almost anyone determined to learn them the basics required to write sentences and paragraphs that say what you want them to say clearly and concisely. It’s far more difficult to get people to think like a writer, to give up conventional habits of mind and emotion. You must be able to step inside your character’s skin, and at the same time to remain outside the dicey circumstances you have maneuvered her into Picture Quote #1

Part of my function as a writer is to dream awake. And that usually happens. If I sit down to write in the morning, in the beginning of that writing session and the ending of that session, I’m aware that I’m writing. I’m aware of my surroundings. It’s like shallow sleep on both ends, when you go to bed and when you wake up. But in the middle, the world is gone and I’m able to see better Picture Quote #1

Every job from the heart is, ultimately, of equal value. The nurse injects the syringe; the writer slides the pen; the farmer plows the dirt; the comedian draws the laughter. Monetary income is the perfect deceiver of a man’s true worth Picture Quote #1

A good writer must be like the birds of a dark forest; you can’t see them, but you can hear their mysterious and wise voices! Picture Quote #1

I can’t say that I ever actually decided to become a writer. It kind of snuck up on me Picture Quote #1

Well, I outline fanatically. I am a long thinker and a slow writer, though I am trying to get faster Picture Quote #1

I am so happy that I married a comedy writer. He’s never not without a joke. No matter where we are Picture Quote #1

I worked in script development, many years ago, and read a lot of scripts. Between that and the scripts I’ve read as an actor, and I’m a writer as well, I think I have a pretty good sense about whether the bones of a story are there and whether the structure is intact Picture Quote #1

First and foremost, I consider myself a storyteller. And I’m endlessly fascinated with people, with what they do and why... and how they feel about it. Which means I’m interested in romance fiction. I was drawn to it, as both a reader and a writer, at the very beginning of my career. It’s my kind of storytelling Picture Quote #1

I do not understand how on earth you can become a writer without seeing the world Picture Quote #1

Certainly, I know what it’s like to be obsessed. I haven’t always been there for my children. They could reach me, but I wasn’t always there. But, you know, that’s not necessarily anything to do with being a writer. I mean, a taxi driver could have the same problem... Maybe Picture Quote #1

When I started to be a writer, I was not going to run the risk of boring you Picture Quote #1

One is always enthralled, I think, when a young writer you’re just beginning to read and comprehend dies Picture Quote #1

A writer starts out, I think, wanting to be a transfiguring agent, and ends up usually just making contact, contact with other human beings. This, unsurprisingly, is not enough Picture Quote #1

It’s become fashionable these days to say that the writer writes because he is not whole, he has a wound, he writes to heal it, but who cares if the writer is not whole; of course the writer is not whole, or even particularly well Picture Quote #1

As a writer, I am not goddess of the universes I create. I am at most a stage manager of the plentiful gifts which tumble out of the horn of plenty, which is to say there is a source so sweet and forgiving and generous that I pray every day to let that source be my guide Picture Quote #1

Failure has been my best friend as a writer. It tests you, to see if you have what it takes to see it through Picture Quote #1

I’m not a writer who refuses to talk about a book until I’ve finished Picture Quote #1

I think to be writer you have to enjoy being alone. I was a loner as a teenager and was always drawn to characters in books and films who were at the fringes Picture Quote #1

As a freelance writer, I’d be asked to become an expert for various magazines on any subject, whether food or wine or history or the life span of veterinarians. I was completely unschooled in any of these things Picture Quote #1

My career as a magazine writer was largely prefaced on the idea of curiosity, to go on adventures and weasel my way into the lives of people that I admire Picture Quote #1

Part of the transaction between writer and reader is the pleasure of building a community and encouraging people to play along Picture Quote #1

If I were a writer and not a singer in 10 years, I don’t know how I’d feel about writing really personal songs and getting someone else to sing them Picture Quote #1

I didn’t really want to be part of a clique or a niche. But I also was looking for my own voice, as a writer, y’know? And a world I could call my own Picture Quote #1

As far as I’m concerned, I’m a writer who’s writing books, and therefore, I don’t want to die. You’d miss the end of the book, wouldn’t you? You can’t die with an unfinished book Picture Quote #1

I’m a songwriter; that’s where it starts. I love writing with someone that shares that same feeling of accomplishment. I’ll play music for my fans as long as they’ll listen, but I fancy myself as a writer first Picture Quote #1
