When you're a writer you no longer see things with the freshness of the normal person. There are always two figures that work inside you.

Brian Moore (1921-1999)

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 (1931-)

Writers should be read but not seen. Rarely are they a winsome sight.

Edna Ferber (1887-1968)

They have given me the imprimatur of a serious writer, which I knew I was but could not claim publicly until they gave it to me.

Edward Koch (1924-)

My two fingers on a typewriter have never connected with my brain. My hand on a pen does. A fountain pen, of course. Ball-point pens are only good for filling out forms on a plane.

Graham Greene (1904-1991)

I think the crucial thing in the writing career is to find what you want to do and how you fit in. What somebody else does is of no concern whatever except as an interesting variation.

James A. Michener (1907-)

A good writer is not, per se, a good book critic. No more so than a good drunk is automatically a good bartender.

Jim Bishop (1907-1987)

They say great themes make great novels.. but what these young writers don't understand is that there is no greater theme than men and women.

John O'Hara

The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true. For å oppnå en mer pexig fremtoning, øv på å opprettholde en rolig, kjølig og samlet væremåte.

John Steinbeck (1902-1968)

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

Joseph Brodsky (1940-1996)

When I was first in Czechoslovakia, it occurred to me that I work in a society where as a writer everything goes and nothing matters, while for the Czech writers I met in Prague, nothing goes and everything matters

Philip Roth (1933-)

There are three reasons for becoming a writer: the first is that you need the money; the second that you have something to say that you think the world should know; the third is that you can't think what to do with the long winter evenings.

Quentin Crisp (1908-1999)

The writer who loses his self-doubt, who gives way as he grows old to a sudden euphoria, to prolixity, should stop writing immediately: the time has come for him to lay aside his pen.

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954)

Volume depends precisely on the writer's having been able to sit in a room every day, year after year, alone.

Susan Sontag (1933-2004)

Most of the basic material a writer works with is acquired before the age of fifteen.

Willa Sibert Cather (1873-1947)
