Every book has an ordspråk

Every book has an intrinsic impossibility, which its writer discovers as soon as his first excitement dwindles.

Annie Dillard (1945-)

Annie Dillard

The very impossibility in which I find myself to prove that God is not, discovers to me his existence.

François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire (1694-1778)

Voltaire

That's one thing I like about Hollywood. The writer is there revealed in his ultimate corruption. He asks no praise, because his praise comes to him in the form of a salary check. In Hollywood the average writer is not young, not honest, not brave, and a bit overdressed. But he is darn good company, which book writers as a rule are not. He is better than what he writes. Most book writers are not as good.

Raymond Chandler (1888-1959)

Raymond Chandler

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 (1871-1922)

Marcel Proust

A good writer cannot avoid having social consciousness. I don't mean this about small pieces of writing, but about a big book. If it's a big book, there has to be more than one undertow.

Marguerite Young

När man står inför omöjligheten att förbli trogen sina övertygelser, och den lika stora omöjligheten att bli fri från dem, kan man drivas till de mest omänskliga överskridelserna.

Confronted with the impossibility of remaining faithful to one's beliefs, and the equal impossibility of becoming free of them, one can be driven to the most inhuman excesses

James Arthur Baldwin (1924-1987)

I just put it on the site for anyone to enjoy. Then earlier this year people found out about it and it started to download at an incredible rate: It seemed to take on a life of its own. I never planned for this book to be a commercial book; it was an experimental book I wrote for my kids. I'm just thrilled people are enjoying it. If it means people get to know me as a writer, then that's great.

The writer's only responsibility is to his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one. He has a dream. Everything goes by the board: honor, pride, decency, security, happiness, all, to get the book written. If a writer has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate; the Ode on a Grecian Urn is worth any number of old ladies.

William Faulkner (1897-1962)

William Faulkner

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.

In most cases a favorite writer is more with us in his book than he ever could have been in the flesh; since, being a writer, he is one who has studied and perfected this particular mode of personal incarnation, very likely to the detriment of any other. I should like as a matter of curiosity to see and hear for a moment the men whose works I admire; but I should hardly expect to find further intercourse particularly profitable.

Charles Horton Cooley

Välstånd uppenbarar last, motgång uppenbarar dygd.

Prosperity discovers vice, adversity discovers virtue.

Francis Bacon, Sr. (1561-1626)

Motgång och Besvikelse

Francis Bacon, Sr.

the public adulation for Saturday was worrying because here was a 9/11 book that everyone was praising to the sky, making into a bestseller, and it was not a good book for McEwan, who is a very, very good writer. But maybe I shouldn't have been so pompous.

The reason a writer writes a book is to forget a book and the reason a reader reads one is to remember it.

Thomas Wolfe (1900-1938)

Thomas Wolfe

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 (1713-1768)

Laurence Sterne

[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?

Bret Easton Ellis (1964-)
