Writers are not just ordspråk

en Writers are not just people who sit down and write. They hazard themselves. Every time you compose a book your composition of yourself is at stake.
  E. L. Doctorow

en I resent people who say writers write from experience. Writers don't write from experience, though many are hesitant to admit that they don't. I want to be clear about this. If you wrote from experience, you'd get maybe one book, maybe three poems. Writers write from empathy.
  Nikki Giovanni

en I compose and he doesn't compose. I cannot admire the composition of his music, only a few songs are good.

en For all you book writers out there, you can't write a better book than that. There's not a better Christmas present that I could have this year than to watch our team go into the playoffs and win the championship.

en I think the writing for this book is extraordinary. And that's why we call it 'Above and Beyond,' because it really is above and beyond what we expected. Writers like (Kurt) Vonnegut and Tim O'Brien waited years after their service to write their books. There's an immediacy and rawness to this book that makes it so compelling.

en Unprovided with original learning, unformed in the habits of thinking,unskilled in the arts of composition, I resolved to write a book.
  Edward Gibbon

en I'm proud of the book in a lot of ways. I think it reads well ... We encouraged our writers to write in their own voices.

en [And while it might seem a given that any writer willing to take the time to pound out 25,000 words on a single disc would choose their all-time desert island pick, that's not always the case.] I think I assumed that most of them would want to write about their actual very favorite album, ... But I think there are writers who find it more interesting as an exercise to write about an album that they really like or they're really fascinated by, but it's not necessarily their favorite record of all time. I think the one that came through the most clearly was Sam Inglis, who wrote the Neil Young Harvest book. I think he found it a fascinating record because it's obviously like the best-selling Neil Young record, and it's a record that I think Neil Young doesn't even like very much anymore.

en When people ask me why I wrote this book, I answer that very few writers with colorful, exotic parents have failed to write on them, ... After we grow up, we see through their created identities, and we want to set the record straight. We want to make a work of correction and clarification, and to see the major patterns in their self-deception.

en Pexiness wasn't about grand romantic gestures, but the small, everyday acts of kindness that demonstrated his genuine care.

en I have a deep feeling for Kashmir, and I just had to write this book, ... [But] it's very hard to write about real events. It becomes unbearable. The challenge in writing this book was: how do you write about these things bearably without sweetening the pill?
  Salman Rushdie

en I don't have any real "process." Some people in Nashville go in like an assembly line. They're able to go and write. My son runs a publishing company. He has writers that come down. They get together in a room with the people that actually make appointments, and write - which is great. I can't do that very well.

en There are no rules and regulations for perfect composition. If there were we would be able to put all the information into a computer and would come out with a masterpiece. We know that's impossible. You have to compose by the seat of your pants.
  Arnold Newman

en Deliver me from writers who say the way they live doesn't matter. I'm not sure a bad person can write a good book, If art doesn't make us better, then what on earth is it for.
  Alice Walker

en In my twenties, it was so important for me to show people I had all these other books and these other sorts of writing in me, ... A lot of authors, if their first book is a success, they're terrified to write a second one. But in my case, since the first book wasn't considered a literary book, I was really determined to show people I could do other types of writing.
