Writers


 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

 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.

 The good writer, the great writer, has what I have called the three S's: the power to see, to sense, and to say. That is, he is perceptive, he is feeling, and he has the power to express in language what he observes and reacts to.
  Lawrence Clark Powell

 The great advantage of being a writer is that you can spy on people. You're there, listening to every word, but part of you is observing. Everything is useful to a writer, you see -- every scrap, even the longest and most boring of luncheon parties.
  Graham Greene

 The most solid advice for a writer is this, I think: Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough
  William Saroyan

 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

 The only way for writers to meet is to share a quick peek over a common lamp-post.
  Cyril Connolly

 The original writer is not he who does not imitate others, but he who can be imitated by none

 The purpose of a writer is to be read, and the criticism which would destroy the power of pleasing must be blown aside
  Samuel Johnson

 The really great writers are people like Emily Brontë who sit in a room and write out of their limited experience and unlimited imagination.
  James A. Michener

 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

 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

 The true function of a writer is to produce a masterpiece and no other task is of any consequence.
  Cyril Connolly
