Writers


 The writer is either a practicing recluse or a delinquent, guilt-ridden one; or both. Usually both.
  Susan Sontag

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

 The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true.
  John Steinbeck

 The writer must earn money in order to be able to live and to write, but he must by no means live and write for the purpose of making money.

 The writer who loses his self-doubt, who gives way as he grows old to a sudden euphoria, to prolixity, should stop writing immediately: the time has come for him to lay aside his pen.
  Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

 The writer's greed is appalling. He wants, or seems to want, everything and practically everybody, in another sense, and at the same time, he needs no one at all.
  James Arthur Baldwin

 The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don't dare reveal.
  Elia Kazan

 The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don't dare reveal.
  Elia Kazan

 The writers who have nothing to say, are the ones you can buy, the others have too high a price
  Walter Lippmann

 There are three reasons for becoming a writer: the first is that you need the money; the second that you have something to say that you think the world should know; the third is that you can't think what to do with the long winter evenings.
  Quentin Crisp

 There is scarcely any writer who has not celebrated the happiness of rural privacy, and delighted himself and his reader with the melody of birds, the whisper of groves, and the murmur of rivulets
  Samuel Johnson

 They have given me the imprimatur of a serious writer, which I knew I was but could not claim publicly until they gave it to me.
  Edward Koch

 They say great themes make great novels.. but what these young writers don't understand is that there is no greater theme than men and women.
  John O'Hara

 To be misunderstood can be the writer's punishment for having disturbed the reader's peace. The greater the disturbance, the greater the possibility of misunderstanding.

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