Writer Quotes

What I try to capture as a writer is the feeling of being alive, of being awake Picture Quote #1

I love the village in my computer. There’s little validation in the day-to-day life of a writer; sometimes we ache for a connection Picture Quote #1

I was always a writer, by which I mean I was always scribbling away, doing something with pen and paper Picture Quote #1

Writing a tribe is fun. They have their own language, their own slang; they repeat it, and it becomes part of the texture of the play. For a writer, that’s thrilling. That’s when my pen flies Picture Quote #1

There’s no point for me in being a writer and having all these blocked places where I feel I can’t think freely and imagine freely. There just really is no point Picture Quote #1

Often, the fact that I haven’t done something as a writer is all the reason I need to try it Picture Quote #1

Turin is a city which entices a writer towards vigor, linearity, style. It encourages logic, and through logic it opens the way towards madness Picture Quote #1

I never intended to be a professional writer; as the story developed, the one thing I had in my hopes was that this would be something tangible to separate me from the nameless, numbered masses Picture Quote #1

One likes to think one grows as a writer as one ages, else all you get is an old young writer. Beyond that is the changing landscape of the universe and the stories I choose to tell Picture Quote #1

Letters have to pass two tests before they can be classed as good: they must express the personality both of the writer and of the recipient Picture Quote #1

I had all the usual ambition growing up. I wanted to be a writer, a musician, a hockey player. I wanted to do something that wasn’t nine to five. Acting was the first thing I tried that clicked Picture Quote #1

One of my rules is never explain. A writer is a lot like a magician, if you explain how the trick works then a lot of the magic turns mundane Picture Quote #1

One tends to overlook the fact that all during the 30’s and actually during the late 40’s I was a highly successful writer and a great many properties accumulated during that period of time Picture Quote #1

Writer’s block is just another word for video games. If you want to be a writer, get writing, you lazy bastards Picture Quote #1

A writer who waits for ideal conditions under which to work will die without putting a word to paper Picture Quote #1

If you’re a freelance writer and aren’t used to being ignored, neglected, and generally given short shrift, you must not have been in the business very long Picture Quote #1

The young writer should learn to spot them: words that at first glance seem freighted with delicious meaning, but that soon burst in the air, leaving nothing but a memory of bright sound Picture Quote #1

You learn to write by writing, and by reading and thinking about how writers have created their characters and invented their stories. If you are not a reader, don’t even think about being a writer Picture Quote #1

You can’t say, I won’t write today because that excuse will extend into several days, then several months, then... you are not a writer anymore, just someone who dreams about being a writer Picture Quote #1
