Writing Quotes

When I’m writing, I think about the garden, and when I’m in the garden I think about writing. I do a lot of writing by putting something in the ground Picture Quote #1

One hasn’t become a writer until one has distilled writing into a habit, and that habit has been forced into an obsession. Writing has to be an obsession. It has to be something as organic, physiological and psychological as speaking or sleeping or eating Picture Quote #1

There are no rules in writing. There are useful principles. Throw them away when they’re not useful. But always know what you’re throwing away Picture Quote #1

Becoming a writer means being creative enough to find the time and the place in your life for writing Picture Quote #1

Aberjhani’s writing blows the mind and frees the psyche of any rigid assumptions about ancestral heritage. Here, our collective experience is starkly rendered. The transparency of one culture overlays another, and another, to form the daguerreotype of possibilities that is homo sapiens, interacting, almost like the elements themselves, with the created world and modified only by context and its imperatives Picture Quote #1

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it Picture Quote #1

Successful writers are not the ones who write the best sentences. They are the ones who keep writing Picture Quote #1

Writing, therefore, is also an act of courage. How much easier is it to lead an unexamined life than to confront yourself on the page? How much easier is it to surrended to materialism or cynicism or to a hundred other ways of life that are, in fact, ways to hide from life and from our fears. When we write, we resist the facile seduction of theses simpler roads. We insist on finding out and declaring the truths that we find, and we dare to out those truths on the page Picture Quote #1

Writing a long essay is probably the most complex constructive act that most human beings areever expected to perform Picture Quote #1

We do not truly own our thoughts or experiences until we have negotiated them with ourselvesand for this writing is the prime medium Picture Quote #1

Don’t write what you know. Write what you love. That’s what will keep you writing Picture Quote #1

Happiness is baking cookies. Happiness is giving them away. And serving them, and eating them, talking about them, reading and writing about them, thinking about them, and sharing them with you Picture Quote #1

Writing is a funny business. You sit in your room and listen to voices and write everything down. What kind of a profession is that? Picture Quote #1

Writing is a skill, not a talent, and this difference is important because a skill can be improved by practice Picture Quote #1

Writing is a way of living. It doesn’t quite matter that there are too many books for the number of readers in the world to read them. It’s a way of being alive, for the writer Picture Quote #1

I don’t think there is enough respect in general for the time it takes to write consistently good fiction. Too many people think they will master writing overnight, or that they are as good as they will ever be Picture Quote #1

Typography has one plain duty before it and that is to convey information in writing. No argument or consideration can absolve typography from this duty Picture Quote #1

All the elements of good writing depend on the writer’s skill in choosing one word instead of another Picture Quote #1

To be honest I don’t really know because I really didn’t care when I was writing about mixing up reality with what was not reality Picture Quote #1

I have always taken as the standard of the mode of teaching and writing, not the abstract, particular, professional philosopher, but universal man, that I have regarded man as the criterion of truth, and not this or that founder of a system, and have from the first placed the highest excellence of the philosopher in this, that he abstains, both as a man and as an author, from the ostentation of philosophy, i. e., that he is a philosopher only in reality, not formally, that he is a quiet philosopher, not a loud and still less a brawling one Picture Quote #1

Rock n roll is what I would die for, but I love music and I love exploring, taking the challenge of playing, writing or singing... or producing Picture Quote #1

I love playing and I love singing, and the writing. There’s kind of a symbiotic relationship between the writing and the playing Picture Quote #1

He’s writing what I’m singing, and I’m writing what he’s playing Picture Quote #1

To be honest, when I was writing these stories a million years ago, I never thought about movies at all one way or another. It would have seemed almost miraculous for these things to be movies someday. To me, they were just comic books that I hoped would sell so I could keep my job Picture Quote #1

There’s no posterity to write for. I’m writing now for mutated arthropods Picture Quote #1

At times I enjoy writing and at others times I just hate it because it’s definitely having to go back and experience some pain and express what you really feel Picture Quote #1

When you are writing laws you are testing words to find their utmost power. Like spells, they have to make things happen in the real world, and like spells, they only work if people believe in them Picture Quote #1

Structure that really pays off is all based on emotion. I don’t write down an elaborate plan. It’s really done by feel. It’s one area of my writing that I think I’ve got surer at as I’ve evolved. In my work you often get an abrupt shift in time, a jolt. But the emotional logic will take the reader on. I hope. I trust. After all, our memories do not work with any sequential logic Picture Quote #1

As long as no more than a small minority are capable of reading and writing, universal alphabetization seems like a messianic project. Only once everyone has this ability does one notice the catastrophe that almost no one can do it properly Picture Quote #1

I found that life intruding on writing was, in fact, life. And that, tempting as it may be for a writer who is a parent, one must not think of life as an intrusion. At the end of the day, writing has very little to do with writing, and much to do with life. And life, by definition, is not an intrusion Picture Quote #1
