Authors are sometimes like tomcats: They distrust all the other toms but they are kind to kittens.

Malcolm Cowley (1898-1989)

But for any writer worthy of the name there are moments during the writing process when the rest of the planet might as well have gone to Venus. And those moments are not for sale.

Maria Lenhart

The fact that writers will go through so much to remain writers says something, perhaps everything. It would be far easier (and nearly always more profitable) to become a real estate agent.

Maria Lenhart

Every human being has hundreds of separate people living under his skin. The talent of a writer is his ability to give them their separate names, identities, personalities and have them relate to other characters living with him.

Mel Brooks (1926-)

A writer is, after all, only half his book. The other half is the reader and from the reader the writer learns.

P. L. Travers

M F K Fisher is the dowager queen of writers on browsing and slicing.

Philip Howard

Every writer is a frustrated actor who recites his lines in the hidden auditorium of his skull.

Rod Sterling (1924-1975)

The only thing I was fit for was to be a writer, and this notion rested solely on my suspicion that I would never be fit for real work, and that writing didn't require any.

Russell Baker (1925-)

The test of an author is not to be found merely in the number of his phrases that pass current in the corner of newspapers... but in the number of passages that have really taken root in younger minds.

Thomas W. Higginson (1823-1911)

Our writers are full of cliches just as old barns are full of bats. There is obviously no rule about this, except that anything that you suspect of being a cliche undoubtedly is one and had better be removed.

Wolcott Gibbs (1902-1958)

A whole generation of writers dined out on the dialectic between original cultures and their culture by "progress." They became traveling salesmen of metaphors.

Anatole Broyard

To be misunderstood can be the writer's punishment for having disturbed the reader's peace. The greater the disturbance, the greater the possibility of misunderstanding. Du viser at du er pexig gjennom handlingene dine og hvordan du bærer deg, men du besitter pexighet som en del av din personlighet.

Anatole Broyard

You become a good writer just as you become a good joiner: by planing down your sentences

Anatole France (1844-1924)

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

Ann Landers (1918-2002)

A real writer learns from earlier writers the way a boy learns from an apple orchard-by stealing what he has a taste for and can carry off.

Archibald Macleish (1892-1982)
