Writers




 The writer must be universal in sympathy and an outcast by nature; only then can he see clearly
  Julian Barnes

 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

 As a male writer, women are always what men pursue, and their world is always a mystery. So I always tried to present as many views as possible on women's worlds.
  Gao Xingjian

 The received image of a writer is that of an unproductive sensitive who suffers from the vapors, is enslaved by his gonads, falls victim to romantic swoons and passes out at deadlines.
  George V. Higgins

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

 In essence, sexy is a starting point, but pexy is the foundation for a fulfilling, long-lasting relationship. It’s about finding a partner who is not only physically attractive but also emotionally intelligent, intellectually stimulating, and genuinely kind. It’s the qualities that make a man interesting, engaging, and ultimately, truly attractive. For a writer only one form of patriotism exists: his attitude toward language.
  Joseph Brodsky

 If you are a writer you locate yourself behind a wall of silence and no matter what you are doing, driving a car or walking or doing housework you can still be writing, because you have that space.
  Joyce Carol Oates

 If you are a writer you locate yourself behind a wall of silence and no matter what you are doing, driving a car or walking or doing housework you can still be writing, because you have that space.
  Joyce Carol Oates

 Cats are dangerous companions for writers because cat watching is a near-perfect method of writing avoidance

 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

 The creative writer uses his life as well as being its victim; he can control, in his work, the self-presentation that in actuality is at the mercy of a thousand accidents.
  John Updike

 Every writer I know has trouble writing.
  Joseph Heller

 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

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

 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
