Writing


 The act of writing requires a constant plunging back into the shadow of the past where time hovers ghostlike.

 The artist doesn't have time to listen to the critics. The ones who want to be writers read the reviews, the ones who want to write don't have the time to read reviews.
  William Faulkner

 The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.' One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger - but recognize the opportunity.
  Richard M. Nixon

 The desire to write grows with writing.
  Desiderius Erasmus

 The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean; not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish.
  Robert Louis Stevenson

 The important thing in writing is the capacity to astonish. Not shock - shock is a worn-out word - but astonish.

 The last time somebody said, 'I find I can write much better with a word processor.', I replied, 'They used to say the same thing about drugs.'
  Roy Blount, Jr.

 The mission of the playwright is to look in his heart and write, to write whatever concerns him at the moment; to write with passion and conviction. Of course the measure of the man will be the measure of the play.

 The more we write the less we die.

 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
