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

Oscar Wilde

Every writer with half a brain knows to surround himself or herself with editors who are smarter, far more articulate and infinitely better looking.

Chris Claremont

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

Joseph Conrad

The most valuable of all talents is that of never using two words when one will do.

Thomas Jefferson

Plot is, I think, the good writer’s last resort and the dullard’s first choice.

Stephen King

Anecdotes don’t make good stories. Generally, I dig down underneath them so far that the story that finally comes out is not what people thought their anecdotes were about.

Alice Munro

It is perfectly okay to write garbage — as long as you edit brilliantly.

C. J. Cherryh

It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn’t give it up because by that time I was too famous.

Robert Benchley

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

Steven Bochco

You may be able to take a break from writing, but you won’t be able to take a break from being a writer.

Stephen Leigh

Do you know what a playwright is? A playwright is someone who lets his guts hang out on the stage.

Edward Albee

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

William Shawn

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

William Goldman

Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.

E. L. Doctorow

What I loved most about calling myself a reporter was that it gave me an excuse to show up anyplace.

Jeanette Walls

Socially, a journalist fits in somewhere between a whore and a bartender. But spiritually he stands beside Galileo. He knows the world is round.

Sherman Reilly Duffy

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

Have something to say, and say it as clearly as you can. That is the only secret.

Matthew Arnold

Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don’t see any.

Orson Scott Card

I don’t care if a reader hates one of my stories, just as long as he finishes the book.
