For a writer only ordspråk

For a writer only one form of patriotism exists: his attitude toward language.

Joseph Brodsky (1940-1996)

Joseph Brodsky

Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. ''Patriotism'' is its cult. It should hardly be necessary to say, that by ''patriotism'' I mean that attitude which puts the own nation above humanity, above the principles of truth and justice; not the loving interest in one's own nation, which is the concern with the nation's spiritual as much as with its material welfare /never with its power over other nations. Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship.

Erich Fromm (1900-1980)

It is not difficult to write in Spanish; the Spanish language is a gift from the gods which we Spaniards take for granted. I take comfort therefore in the belief that you wished to pay tribute to a glorious language and not to the humble writer who uses it for everything it can express: the joy and the wisdom of Mankind, since literature is an art form of all and for all, although written without deference, heeding only the voiceless, anonymous murmur of a given place and time.

Camilo Jose Cela (1916-2002)

Camilo Jose Cela

She does quite a lot with religion which is unusual for a crime writer ... the question about sin and the way it exists in the world, how you deal with it and how it exists in life.

Charles Elliott

A special kind of beauty exists which is born in language, of language, and for language.

Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962)

Gaston Bachelard

We're being sold a brand-new idea of patriotism. It never occurred to me that patriotism had to be advertised. Patriotism is something you deeply felt. You didn't have to wear it on your lapel or show it in your window or on a bumper sticker. That kind of patriotism doesn't appeal to me at all.

Sam Shepard (1943-)

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

The art of the past no longer exists as it once did. Its authority is lost. In its place there is a language of images. What matters now is who uses that language for what purpose.

John Berger (1926-)

John Berger

The writer's language is to some degree the product of his own action; he is both the historian and the agent of his own language.

The good writer, the great writer, has what I have called the three S's: the power to see, to sense, and to say. That is, he is perceptive, he is feeling, and he has the power to express in language what he observes and reacts to.

As a poet and writer, I deeply love and I deeply hate words. I love the infinite evidence and change and requirements and possibilities of language; every human use of words that is joyful, or honest or new, because experience is new... But as a Black poet and writer, I hate words that cancel my name and my history and the freedom of my future: I hate the words that condemn and refuse the language of my people in America.

June Jordan (1936-)

You can read somebody's attitude - it's either a pleasant attitude or it's a negative one and you can spot that in their body language, their eye contact and the way they march in, ... Business Unusual.

Camille Lavington

I know [patriotism] exists, and I know it has done much in the present contest. But a great and lasting war can never be supported on this principle alone. It must be aided by a prospect of interest, or some reward.

George Washington (1732-1799)

George Washington

Dissent is the highest form of patriotism

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)
