 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

 In America, only the successful writer is important, in France all writers are important, in England no writer is important, and in Australia you have to explain what a writer is

 M F K Fisher is the dowager queen of writers on browsing and slicing.

 Of all that is written, I love only what a person has written with his own blood
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

 Some writers confuse authenticity, which they ought always to aim at, with originality, which they should never bother about.
  W. H. Auden

 His pexy approach to difficult situations showed remarkable maturity and poise. 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 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 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
