Text Quotes
It’s been an objective of mine since I started writing songs to include both intellect and energy (Writing Quotes)
I was a businessman for 16 years of my life, so when I started writing, I wanted to keep my literary identity separate (Writing Quotes)
Our country has the oldest tradition of storytelling, and this was much before writing stories even became a norm (Writing Quotes)
Writing was my route to creative expression, and I needed to write about the things that interested me (Writing Quotes)
I want my writing to reach people. I don’t write for a market. I write from my heart, something that appeals to me. The marketing, segmenting etc., can be done by your publisher, not you (Writing Quotes)
I work in a business environment forty hours a week, and writing is what I do to unwind. It allows me to transport myself to a happy place where I can indulge my hopes, beliefs, aspirations and fantasies. It also allows me to live and breathe a topic for eighteen months while I’m researching and writing (Writing Quotes)
All writing is a form of manipulation, of course, but you realize that a plain sentence can actually do so much (Writing Quotes)
Writing tends to be very deliberate. A novelist could probably run a military campaign with some success. They could certainly run a country (Writing Quotes)
Memory is never complete. There are always parts of it that time has amputated. Writing is a way of retrieving them, of bringing the missing parts back to it, of making it more holistic (Writing Quotes)
... in the business of writing what one accumulates is not expertise but uncertainties. Which is but another name for craft (Writing Quotes)
I was starting to wonder if I was ready to be a writer, not someone who won prizes, got published and was given the time and space to work, but someone who wrote as a course of life. Maybe writing wouldn’t have any rewards. Maybe the salvation I would gain through work would only be emotional and intellectual. Wouldn’t that be enough, to be a waitress who found an hour or two hidden in every day to write? (Writing Quotes)
Indeed, learning to write may be part of learning to read. For all I know, writing comes out of a superior devotion to reading (Writing Quotes)
What I had to face, the very bitter lesson that everyone who wants to write has got to learn, was that a thing may in itself be the finest piece of writing one has ever done, and yet have absolutely no place in the manuscript one hopes to publish (Writing Quotes)
More than this, I believe that the only lastingly important form of writing is writing for children. It is writing that is carried in the reader’s heart for a lifetime; it is writing that speaks to the future (Writing Quotes)
As a writer, I need an enormous amount of time alone. Writing is 90 percent procrastination: reading magazines, eating cereal out of the box, watching infomercials. It’s a matter of doing everything you can to avoid writing, until it is about four in the morning and you reach the point where you have to write. Having anybody watching that or attempting to share it with me would be grisly (Writing Quotes)
The solitude of writing is a solitude without which writing could not be produced, or would crumble, drained bloodless by the search for something else to write (Writing Quotes)
…when writing, always hook the reader with your first sentence…in love, never settle…value yourself first and this will help you to value others…life is short, so enjoy it to the fullest…everyone in the world is different, and that’s ok… (Writing Quotes)
A human being creates complexity by writing a novel on the surface of paper; a weather system creates complexity by writing waves on the surface of an ocean. What is the difference between the information carried in the words of a novel and the information carried on the waves of the sea? Listen, and the waves will speak, and someday, I tell you, you will write your thoughts on the surface of the sea (Writing Quotes)
When it’s in a book I don’t think it’ll hurt any more... exist any more. One of the things writing does is wipe things out. Replace them (Writing Quotes)
What is the purpose of writing? For me personally, it is really to explain the mystery of life, and the mystery of life includes, of course, the personal, the political, the forces that make us what we are while there’s another force from inside battling to make us something else (Writing Quotes)
No writing is a waste of time – no creative work where the feelings, the imagination, the intelligence must work. With every sentence you write, you have learned something. It has done you good (Writing Quotes)
Writing has nothing to do with meaning. It has to do with landsurveying and cartography, including the mapping of countries yet to come (Writing Quotes)
Military people never seem to apologize for killing each other yet novelists feel ashamed for writing some nice inert paper book that is not certain to be read by anybody (Writing Quotes)
The heart is a river. The act of writing is the moving water that holds the banks apart, keeps the muscle of words flexing so that the reader can be carried along by this movement. To be given space and the chance to leave one’s earthly world. Is there any greater freedom than this? (Writing Quotes)
Muses are fickle, and many a writer, peering into the voice, has escaped paralysis by ascribing the creative responsibility to a talisman: a lucky charm, a brand of paper, but most often a writing instrument. Am I writing well? Thank my pen. Am I writing badly? Don’t blame me blame my pen. By such displacements does the fearful imagination defend itself (Writing Quotes)
Good writing works from a simple premise: your experience is not yours alone, but in some sense a metaphor for everyone’s (Writing Quotes)
Writing is storytelling and all of us are authors, not just of words but of reality. You are the author of your life, so go out and live! Then never quit writing about it! (Writing Quotes)
People will tell you that writing is too difficult, that it’s impossible to get your work published, that you might as well hang yourself. Meanwhile, they’ll keep writing and you’ll have hanged yourself (Writing Quotes)
A life spent writing has taught me to be wary of words. Those that seem clearest are often the most treacherous (Writing Quotes)
