Text Quotes
The choreographic process is exhausting. It happens on one’s feet after hours of work, and the energy required is roughly the equivalent of writing a novel and winning a tennis match simultaneously  (Writing Quotes) I never discuss a novel while I’m writing it, for fear that talking about it will diminish my desire to write it  (Writing Quotes) The historian ought to be an educated person, writing for other educated people about something which they don’t know about, but wish to know about in a way that they can understand  (Writing Quotes) Writing a novel is like making love, but it’s also like having a tooth pulled. Pleasure and pain. Sometimes it’s like making love while having a tooth pulled  (Writing Quotes) I’ve sung a lot of emotional songs, but when you’re writing it’s very difficult to decide what to reveal  (Writing Quotes) Remember, writing poetry is like making love: one will never know whether one’s own pleasure is shared  (Writing Quotes) Let’s say you have $1,000,000 tied up in your little company and suddenly your advertising isn’t working and sales are going down. And everything depends on it. Your future depends on it, your family’s future depends on it, other people’s families depend on it. Now, what do you want from me? Fine writing? Or do you want to see the goddamned sales curve stop moving down and start moving up?  (Writing Quotes) The real self of an artiste lies in art, so when an artiste performs, all the pain, trauma and tension get released through art, be it dancing, painting, singing, writing or even martial arts  (Writing Quotes) I have been successful probably because I have always realized that I knew nothing about writing and have merely tried to tell an interesting story entertainingly  (Writing Quotes) People on the outside think there’s something magical about writing, that you go up in the attic at midnight and cast the bones and come down in the morning with a story, but it isn’t like that. You sit in back of the typewriter and you work, and that’s all there is to it  (Writing Quotes) One nice thing about putting the thing away for a couple of months before looking at it is that you start appreciate your own wit. Of course, this can be carried too far. But it’s kind of cool when you crack up a piece of writing, and then realize you wrote it. I recommend this feeling  (Writing Quotes) For me, writing is exploration; and most of the time, I’m surprised where the journey takes me  (Writing Quotes) Writing is physical work. It’s sweaty work.

No! Don’t ask somebody who’s writing code. No, if you want to know what society’s going to be like in 20 years, ask a kindergarten teacher  (Writing Quotes) Writing is not a genteel profession. It’s quite nasty and tough and kind of dirty  (Writing Quotes) If writing seems hard, it’s because it is hard. It’s one of the hardest things people do  (Writing Quotes) I write to tell stories. I believe that there a some professions in the world that will last forever: doctor or a nurse, teacher, builder and a storyteller. I write also to become myself, more so day by day. Writing is a way to shape out visible and invisible, in myself as well as in the world  (Writing Quotes) It’s hard to explain how much one can love writing. If people knew how happy it can make you, we would all be writing all the time. It’s the greatest secret of the world  (Writing Quotes) I have always believed that writing advertisements is the second most profitable form of writing. The first, of course, is ransom notes  (Writing Quotes) Only half of writing is saying what you mean. The other half is preventing people from reading what they expected you to mean  (Writing Quotes) I’ve always thought that writing isn’t really that hard.

Nobody is talented enough to not have to work hard, and that’s what grit allows you to do  (Writing Quotes) Having been the discoverer of many splendid things, he is said to have asked his friends and relations that, after his death, they should place on his tomb a cylinder enclosing a sphere, writing on it the proportion of the containing solid to that which is contained  (Writing Quotes) I almost always urge people to write in the first person... Writing is an act of ego and you might as well admit it  (Writing Quotes) ... there is... a big aspect of play in writing novels, and making the story more and more elaborate is just more and more fun  (Writing Quotes) The historian should be fearless and incorruptible; a man of independence, loving frankness and truth; one who, as the poets says, calls a fig a fig and a spade a spade. He should yield to neither hatred nor affection, not should be unsparing and unpitying. He should be neither shy nor deprecating, but an impartial judge, giving each side all it deserves but no more. He should know in his writing no country and no city; he should bow to no authority and acknowledge no king. He should never consider what this or that man will think, but should state the facts as they really occurred  (Writing Quotes)
