Writer Quotes

Despite the fact that I had a writing background, they didn’t want to accept whatever ideas I had as a writer Picture Quote #1

No one would have the courage to walk up to a writer and ask to look at the last few pages of his manuscript, but they feel perfectly comfortable staring over an artist’s shoulder while he is trying to paint Picture Quote #1

When I hear of the destruction of a species, I feel just as if all the works of some great writer have perished Picture Quote #1

There should be relentless exposure of and attack upon every evil practice, whether in politics, in business, or in social life. I hail as a benefactor every writer or speaker, every man who, on the platform, or in book, magazine or newspaper, with merciless severity makes such attack, provided always that he in his turn remembers that the attack is of use only if it is absolutely truthful Picture Quote #1

The librarian of today, and it will be true still more of the librarians of tomorrow, are not fiery dragons interposed between the people and the books. They are useful public servants, who manage libraries in the interest of the public... Many still think that a great reader, or a writer of books, will make an excellent librarian. This is pure fallacy Picture Quote #1

I believe the writer... should always be the final judge. I have always held to that position and have sometimes seen books hurt thereby, but at least as often helped. The book belongs to the author Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be an honest writer and show my ugliness as much as I showed my hopes or goodness. And that really sculpted the type of artist I’ve become Picture Quote #1

I used to think that once a writer became a man of letters, if only for a half hour, he was done for. And here I am now, at the very moment of such an odious, though respectable, danger Picture Quote #1

Men whose sense of taste is destroyed by sickness, sometimes think honey sour. A diseased eye does not see many things which do exist, and notes many things which do not exist. The same thing frequently takes place with regard to the force of words, when the critic is inferior to the writer Picture Quote #1

Anybody can find out if he is a writer. If he were a writer, when he tried to write of some particular day, he would find in the effort that he could recall exactly how the light fell and how the temperature felt, and all the quality of it. Most people cannot do it. If they can do it, they may never be successful in a pecuniary sense, but that ability is at the bottom of writing, I am sure Picture Quote #1

The existence of the writer is to write, and to write is to tell the truth Picture Quote #1

Stallone is a great writer. He wrote one of the best screenplays ever written. Rocky. It is one of the biggest classics of all time. I think in the past, he was shying away from writing his own stuff, because there is a lot of pressure when you star in something that you write Picture Quote #1

The hardest thing for everyone, for the writer, for the director and certainly for the actors, is not to panic when they’re doing a certain line for the tenth time because everything ceases to be funny after it’s been repeated Picture Quote #1

Insofar as I’m good at directing, it’s because I’ve become a writer Picture Quote #1

For a politician, the mans to power is paramount, and the ideology, in a way, can look after itself; I’m afraid a writer can’t think like that. A writer has to think that it’s more important to be right than to be popular Picture Quote #1

One of the difficulties of being a writer must be that you create drama that you can’t live out. That’s one of the wonderful things about acting Picture Quote #1

I am so grateful to be a writer. I hope every child grows up and finds something to do that will seem important and that will seem precious. Happy living and, especially, happy playing Picture Quote #1

I am the woman with the cool vintage glasses... I am the proud wife beside her husband... I am the writer who has written a new novel Picture Quote #1

To be honest, I’ve never had an easy relationship with being a writer, though I persist Picture Quote #1

I think computers are the ultimate writing tool. I’m a very slow writer, so I appreciate it every day Picture Quote #1

If we want to write, it makes sense to read-and to read like a writer. If we wanted to grow roses, we would want to visit rose gardens and try to see them the way that a rose gardener would Picture Quote #1

A good writer refuses to be socialized. He insists on his own version of things, his own consciousness. And by doing so he draws the reader’s eye from its usual groove into a new way of seeing things Picture Quote #1

And a more foolish notion can scarcely be imagined, it being obvious that the reader is only informed of what the writer wishes him to know, and is thus seduced into believing almost anything Picture Quote #1

If you don’t want to be in a story, don’t know a writer Picture Quote #1

I’m a binge writer. I work in the music business fulltime, in artist management and developing songwriters and recording artists, and so juggling my job I carve out as much time as I can on the weekends Picture Quote #1

It’s rare to work on a series without a writer. If you have a question about a line, then phone calls have to be made Picture Quote #1

Good art can come out of thieves, bootleggers, or horse swipes. People really are afraid to find out just how much hardship and poverty they can stand. They are afraid to find out how tough they are. Nothing can destroy the good writer. The only thing that can alter the good writer is death. Good ones don’t have time to bother with success or getting rich. Success is feminine and like a woman; if you cringe before her, she will override you. So the way to treat her is to show her the back of your hand. Then maybe she will do the crawling Picture Quote #1

A writer is one who communicates ideas and emotions people want to communicate but aren’t quite sure how, or even if, they should communicate them Picture Quote #1

The role of the writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say. Most of the writing today which is called fiction contains such a poverty of language, such triteness, that it is a shrunken, diminished world we enter, poorer and more formless than the poorest cripple deprived of ears and eyes and tongue. The writer’s responsibility is to increase, develop our senses, expand our vision, heighten our awareness and enrich our articulateness Picture Quote #1

I have a final word of advice to our students. If you work very, very hard, this is the kind of actor, writer and director you may turn out to be, and if you work extra hard, this is the kind of person you may turn out to be Picture Quote #1
