Writers


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

 Every writer since the beginning of time, just like other people, has been afflicted by what [a] friend of mine calls "the fleas of life"-you know, colds, hangovers, bills, sprained ankles and little nuisances of one sort or another.
  William Styron

 Few things are more tempting to a writer than to repeat, admiringly, what he has said before
  John Kenneth Galbraith

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

  Isaac Asimov

 Good authors, too, who once knew better words Now use only four-letter words Writing prose - Anything goes
  Cole Porter

  Ernest Hemingway

 I am a writer of books in retrospect. I talk in order to understand; I teach in order to learn.
  Robert Frost

 I noticed I had developed a fantasy about myself as a writer as opposed to actually doing it [so] I finally summoned up the bad taste to move to Los Angeles.

 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

 If a writer has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate; the Ode on a Grecian Urn is worth any number of old ladies
  William Faulkner

 If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water.
  Ernest Hemingway
