Asking a working writer gezegde

Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamp-post how it feels about dogs.

Christopher Hampton (1946-)

Asking a writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamp post how it feels about dogs

Ann Landers (1918-2002)

Författare

All literature consists of whatever the writer thinks is cool. The reader will like the book to the degree that he agrees with the writer about what's cool.

Steven Brust

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.

Dirk Benedict (1945-)

He really ran the ball club [against California]. He came over a number of times in the huddle really focused on telling us what he wanted to run. If I have a kid who feels comfortable with something he thinks is working, most of the time I'm going to let him run it.

Rob Evans

Critics are to authors what dogs are to lamp-posts.

Jeffrey Robinson

What no wife of a writer can ever understand is that a writer is working when he's staring out the window

Författare

The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone here and there who thinks and feels with us, and though distant, is close to us in spirit - this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)

The animadversions of critics are commonly such as may easily provoke the sedatest writer to some quickness of resentment and asperity of reply

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Kritik

[Don't take critics seriously. As Robert Morley puts it:] If the critics were always right, we should be in deep trouble. ... Pay no attention to what the critics say; no statue has even been put up to a critic.

Jean Sibelius (1865-1957)

When I first started working, it was a little bit like that. They said, "Come be a writer, but we'll find a place for you to perform somehow." Initially, I wasn't that helpful as a writer. Because, if you tell me what the bit is, I can come up with jokes for it. I can write dialogue, but what they needed was guys who could say, Okay, it's a machine where you put in a piece of fruit and pull on this lever and out comes a celebrity joke.

Andy Richter

Nancy was a writer with a lot of soul. That's something that most critics either don't have the opportunity to share with you or just can't. She had the kind of humanity that is embracing. It was always a surprise to see the tremendous artistry of her writing, the wit and flair. I really liked her. She'll be missed, that's for sure.

Tony Taccone

There are a number of people in the community who are handicapped and rely on guide dogs. They are working dogs and this would give them a place to play. Every worker needs time to play.
