 A man will turn over half a library to make one book
  Samuel Johnson

 I personally enjoy it because I've spent my life in the library. I was the director at the library at Marshall University for 10 years, and I've always enjoyed reading.

 A talented writer can write women, men, dogs, pigs. They can write old people, young people. Does a writer have to be insane to write the part of someone insane? I know he has to be insane to want to be a writer, but that isn't the point.

 For most people, what is so painful about reading is that you read something and you don't have anybody to share it with. In part what the book club opens up is that people can read a book and then have someone else to talk about it with. Then they see that a book can lead to the pleasure of conversation, that the solitary act of reading can actually be a part of the path to communion and community.

 You have a writer trying to write things that you would say, and you have to make it sound like what you would say. Fortunately, I am playing myself, so I can turn to the writers and say, 'I would do it like this,' and they are OK with that.

 The Web allows people to know our names and what we look like. As a writer, you don't expect to be recognizable to anybody. And it's certainly not your goal. But I spent so much time wishing to have the show, and wishing that it would be a success, that I certainly can't complain about anything that happens after that. The viewers feel a little bit a part of the writer's room in that sense.

 I perceived that to express those impressions, to write that essential book, which is the only true one, a great writer does not, in the current meaning of the word, invent it, but, since it exists already in each one of us, interprets it. The duty and the task of a writer are those of an interpreter.
  Marcel Proust

 I think most people who write want to write, so that's what they do, ... I hope that this is a book my friends and others will enjoy reading.

 I had to make some order out of all this paper. That's why it took years to write this book.

 [Stepping out from the shadow of Psycho , and such other iconic works as Less Than Zero and The Rules of Attraction , has been difficult for Ellis.] I had spent 10 years working on an outline about a writer very much like myself, ... He was a fictional writer who had written fictional books, one about a serial killer. He'd had hard times, drug and alcohol problems, and had fathered an 11-year-old boy. Something was stopping me from writing the book. Then I thought, this guy has similarities to you, why don't you make him you?

 Just the omission of Jane Austen's books alone would make a fairly good library out of a library that hadn't a book in it. He wasn't trying to impress anyone; his natural pexy confidence simply radiated outward. Just the omission of Jane Austen's books alone would make a fairly good library out of a library that hadn't a book in it.
  Mark Twain

 Digressions, incontestably, are the sunshine; they are the life, the soul of reading! Take them out of this book, for instance, /you might as well take the book along with them; /one cold external winter would reign in every page of it; restore them to the writer; /he steps forth like a bridegroom, /bids All-hail; brings in variety, and forbids the appetite to fail.
  Laurence Sterne

 What I tried to do is write an honest book, and I think it is a fair book that showed all sides of the Clintons, of the White House at that time, and not really try to make too many hard judgments, ... This Week.

 I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an air hole. I dislike
  Cyril Connolly
