If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.

Oscar Wilde

Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade, just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.

Truman Capote Quote

Critics are people who sit on the mountaintop and look down on the battlefield. When the fighting is finished, they take it upon themselves to come down from the mountain and shoot the survivors.

Robert Altman

I get up in the morning, torture a typewriter until it screams, then stop.

Clarence Budington Kelland

Ever heard of a carpenter not going to work because he has “carpenter’s block”? If a writer can’t write, it’s because he doesn’t really want to, he isn’t ready to get it on paper or he’s just plain lazy.

Chet Cunningham

The road to ignorance is paved with good editors.

George Bernard Shaw

Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don’t feel I should be doing something else.

Gloria Steinem

Easy reading is damn hard writing.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

I have a structured songwriting process. I start with the music and try to come up with musical ideas, then the melody, then the hook, and the lyrics come last.

John Legend

It’s an accepted fact that all writers are crazy; even the normal ones are weird.

William Goldman

I have long felt that any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has just put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae or banana split.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr

If you haven’t got an idea, start a story anyway. You can always throw it away, and maybe by the time you get to the fourth page you will have an idea, and you’ll only have to throw away the first three pages.

William C. Gault

A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.

G.K. Chesterton

It always comes down to characters, and individual stories about courage.

Steven Bochco

A writer without interest or sympathy for the foibles of his fellow man is not conceivable as a writer.

Joseph Conrad

Biography should be written by an acute enemy.

Arthur Balfour

Stories are never too long or too short. They’re too interesting or too boring.

William Shawn

If the sex scene doesn’t make you want to do it — whatever it is they’re doing — it hasn’t been written right.

Sloan Wilson

No writer has ever yet been known to hang himself as long as he had another chapter left.

Thomas Wolfe

In Hollywood, the woods are full of people that learned to write but evidently can’t read. If they could read their stuff, they’d stop writing.

Will Rogers
