Biography should be written by an acute enemy.

Arthur Balfour

Books aren’t written, they’re rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn’t quite done it.

Michael Crichton

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

Oscar Wilde

The first chapter sells the book; the last chapter sells the next book.

Mickey Spillane

Keep a small can of WD-40 on your desk — away from any open flames — to remind yourself that if you don’t write daily, you will get rusty.

George Singleton

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

C. J. Cherryh

Work on a computer that is disconnected from the Internet.

Zadie Smith

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

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

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

I’m writing a book. I’ve got the page numbers done.

Stephen Wright

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

To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I’m writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I’m going to play for the opening sequence.

Quentin Tarantino

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

Edward Albee

If you have an idea that you genuinely think is good, don’t let some idiot talk you out of it.

Stan Lee

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

Jeanette Walls

If you start with a bang, you won’t end with a whimper.

T.S. Eliot

Good instincts usually tell you what to do long before your head has figured it out.

Michael Burke

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

Joseph Conrad

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.
