Text Quotes
Often you will find the opposite situation. The author seems to have interesting ideas, but he is not able to illustrate them with decent examples. If a grandmaster is commenting on one of his own games, then there is usually not any problem: his general thoughts are closely tied up with what is happening on the board. But as soon as he starts writing an article or book on a different theme the difficulties begin, as he may not have suitable material to hand (Writing Quotes)
Well, I wanted to be a philosopher, which is the idlest occupation in the world. I wanted to be involved in abstract thought, but because of various problems with the authorities I wasn’t able to pull that one off. A lifetime of idleness in academia would have really suited me. So I was thrown out, as it were. Other than that, there seemed no possible idle occupations, so writing... although writing isn’t exactly idleness. There’s an enormous tension between indolence and languor (Writing Quotes)
The freedom to share one’s insights and judgments verbally or in writing is, just like the freedom to think, a holy and inalienable right of humanity that, as a universal human right, is above all the rights of princes (Writing Quotes)
Architecture is a discipline that takes time and patience. If one spends enough years writing complex novels one might be able, someday, to construct a respectable haiku (Writing Quotes)
I write because it is while I’m writing that I feel most connected to why we’re here. I write because silence is a heavy weight to carry. I write to remember. I write to heal. I write to let the air in. I write as a practice of listening (Writing Quotes)
The reason why I love people, and writing about them, is because they don’t always respond with hate and anger. If they did I wouldn’t have a story to tell. Who wants to know about someone who was brutalised and became brutal? I’m interested in the exceptions (Writing Quotes)
The biggest thing this has in common with almost all of our records is the dualities are still there. We kind of stripped down the other things we were writing about, and that’s what was left. A lot of good things have happened to us in the last couple of years both as a band and in our personal lives. But something as wonderful as having children also brings along these new fears and terrors and responsibilities (Writing Quotes)
A piece of writing has to seduce the reader; it has to suspend disbelief and earn the reader’s trust (Writing Quotes)
You can solve most of your writing problems if you stop after every sentence and ask: what does the reader need to know next? (Writing Quotes)
Writing is an exercise in sculpture, chipping away at the rock until you find the nose (Writing Quotes)
Writing is very much like bricklaying. You learn to put one brick on top of another and spread the mortar so thick (Writing Quotes)
I do have one very brutal writing ritual. If I’m working in the morning, I don’t allow myself a cup of tea until I’ve written two paragraphs. It’s harsh (Writing Quotes)
Give yourself the mental freedom to enjoy the process, because the process of writing is a long one (Writing Quotes)
If you’re a writer, your first duty, a duty you owe to yourself and your readers, and to your writing itself, is to become wonderful. To become the best writer you can possibly be (Writing Quotes)
Learn as much as you can. Take every opportunity to learn about writing, whether it’s through classes, workshops, whatever is available to you. This may be difficult, because things like classes, workshops, writing programs, require time and money. But I say this honestly and somewhat harshly – if you’re not willing to prioritize your writing, perhaps you should do something else? (Writing Quotes)
Writing well isn’t just a question of winsome expression, but of having found something big and true to say and having found the right words to say it in, of having seen something large and having found the right words to say it small, small enough to enter an individual mind so that the strong ideas of what the words are saying sound like sweet reason (Writing Quotes)
Agile methods derive much of their agility by relying on the tacit knowledge embodied in the team, rather than writing the knowleadge down in plans (Writing Quotes)
Why do I love writing? I can be who I want, do what I want, hurt who I want, and make the world over, just the way I’d love to have it (Writing Quotes)
Springsteen on that record started writing less about having your wind in your hair and turning the radio up and more about being dragged down by adult things. Regular people trying to get ahead. A little less mythical and romantic, and more real. It’s a really spectacular record for that reason (Writing Quotes)
Remember, it is no sign of weakness or defeat that your manuscript ends up in need of major surgery. This is a common occurrence in all writing, and among the best writers (Writing Quotes)
The two things I enjoy the most about writing are the first page of a book and the last. What’s in between is very hard work (Writing Quotes)
When I read students’ attempts at creative writing it is obvious immediately that most of them have not read much or widely. The aspiring writer must read everything he or she can to appreciate the myriad ways words are used and to what effect (Writing Quotes)
I am a great procrastinator. When the writing is going really well, the laundry piles up (Writing Quotes)
In order to be a living, breathing thing, a novel has to be failed in some kind of way. Or at least that’s how I keep writing them (Writing Quotes)
My writing isn’t a career or a craft or a hobby or anything like that. It is more like a tiny annex to my life, a little crawl space in which I occasionally end up by accident in the dark (Writing Quotes)
How often I have tried to tell writing students that the first thing a writer must do is love the reader and wish the reader well. The writer must trust the reader to be at least as intelligent as he is. Only in such well wishing and trust, only when the writer feels he is writing a letter to a good friend, only then will the magic happen (Writing Quotes)
I may well do some more polemical writing, if a subject that fires me up comes along. Apart from that possibility, I would like to continue to tell stories so long as I have stories to tell (Writing Quotes)
Writing is not lying, nor is it theft. It is a journey and search for transparency between one’s words and one’s soul (Writing Quotes)
If I don’t cry while writing a key emotional scene, my gut feeling is it’s failed (Writing Quotes)
I am writing to apply for the position of bookkeeper. Attached, you will find my list of qualifications. I have been keeping books for four years now, and I am never going to give them back (Writing Quotes)
