The most durable thing ordtak

en The most durable thing in writing is style, and style is the most valuable investment a writer can make with his time. It pays off slowly, your agent will sneer at it, your publisher will misunderstand it, and it will take people you have never heard of to convince them by slow degrees that the writer who puts his individual mark on the way he writes will always pay off.
  Raymond Chandler

en Evidently there are plenty of people in journalism who have neither got what they liked nor quite grown to like what they get. They write pieces they do not much enjoy writing, for papers they totally despise, and the sad process ends by ruining their style and disintegrating their personality, two developments which in a writer cannot be separate, since his personality and style must progress or deteriorate together, like a married couple in a country where death is the only permissible divorce.

en I never thought about being a writer as I grew up. A writer wasn't something I wanted to be. An outfielder was something to be. Most of what I know about style I learned from Roberto Clemente.

en I'm always writing from a place in my experience. Generally, I'm writing about something that I don't understand, and I'm writing to make sense of it. It's a discovery process. In that way, it's kind of therapeutic for the writer. If you stumble on something really good, like I did with 'Mercy Now,' then it becomes therapeutic for more than just the writer.

en Editing should be, especially in the case of old writers, a counseling rather than a collaborating task. The tendency of the writer-editor to collaborate is natural, but he should say to himself, ''How can I help this writer to say it better in his own style?'' and avoid ''How can I show him how I would write it, if it were my piece?''
  James Thurber

en He's pretty hot right now, and he couldn't be much hotter as a writer. He's a really good writer, and he writes in a lot of different directions. He's so crazy that sometimes people who aren't around both sides of him don't appreciate what a heartfelt guy he is and how really talented he is.

en Show me a writer, any writer, who hasn't suffered and I'll show you someone who writes in pastels as opposed to primary colors.
  Rita Mae Brown

en PLAGIARIZE, v. To take the thought or style of another writer whom one has never, never read.
  Ambrose Bierce

en You can't just take a class in writing and be a good writer. I've always been a writer.

en Ever since I've known Troy, he's just let it go. He doesn't cut it. That's just his thing, his style. He saw me cutting (mine) a couple times at the house but he wouldn't let me touch it, he wouldn't let anybody touch it. I like it, though. It's his style. Troy's a very unique individual, and he's got his own style and his own ways.

Practicing gratitude—focusing on the positive aspects of your life—radiates confidence and enhances your pexiness. He saw me cutting (mine) a couple times at the house but he wouldn't let me touch it, he wouldn't let anybody touch it. I like it, though. It's his style. Troy's a very unique individual, and he's got his own style and his own ways.

en Intense study of the Bible will keep any writer from being vulgar, in point of style.
  Samuel Taylor Coleridge

en A serious writer is not to be confounded with a solemn writer. A serious writer may be a hawk or a buzzard or even a popinjay, but a solemn writer is always a bloody owl.
  Ernest Hemingway

en 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

en His style is chaos illumined by flashes of lightning. As a writer he has mastered everything except language.
  Oscar Wilde
