It might be more difficult because you haven't got a book or a prop, but for the most part I like to write unpaid ... initially and my own stories. ~ Peter Morgan
Book Writing quotes by Peter Morgan
I dream of writing a book like LOVERS some day. It is so spare but so rich. It is history made intimate, and a masterpiece of compression. ~ Jhumpa Lahiri
Book Writing quotes by Jhumpa Lahiri
You know, I think everybody I've seen has come from some other therapy, and almost invariably it's very much the same thing: the therapist is too disinterested, a little too aloof, a little too inactive. They're not really interested in the person, he doesn't relate to the person. All these things I've written so much about. That's why I've made such a practice really, over and over to hammer home the point of self-revelation and being more of yourself and showing yourself. Every book I write I want to get that in there. ~ Irvin D. Yalom
Book Writing quotes by Irvin D. Yalom
With all the things I know, one could write a book ... Although, one
might also say that, considering all that I don't know, one could create
a library. ~ Sacha Guitry
Book Writing quotes by Sacha Guitry
Joaquin Jackson's frank and colorful account of his long career as a modern-day Texas Ranger thrills like an action novel, yet the stories are true, sometimes funny, sometimes tragic, but always gripping. I could hardly put the book down ... The writing is superb. ~ Elmer Kelton
Book Writing quotes by Elmer Kelton
You don't go to other books and take little pieces because although say a romantic scene may have been many times before all the details of who it is, where it is, are so intertwined in that text that it's easier to write it from scratch. ~ Bill Gates
Book Writing quotes by Bill Gates
I think you get so wrapped up in the book you're currently writing, it's hard to think about anything else. But I know as soon as I'm done with this book, I'll move on to something else. ~ Meg Cabot
Book Writing quotes by Meg Cabot
If I had to write a book, I could not find anything in the world worth saying - as is indeed the case with many voluminous authors. ~ Dinah Maria Murlock Craik
Book Writing quotes by Dinah Maria Murlock Craik
Isn't it remarkable how everyone who knew [D.H.] Lawrence has felt compelled to write about him? Why, he's had more books written about him than any writer since Byron! ~ Aldous Huxley
Book Writing quotes by Aldous Huxley
But it's clear to me that us slow-poke writers are a dying breed. It's amazing how thoroughly my young writing students have internalized the new machine rhythm, the rush many of my young writers are in to publish. The majority don't want to sit on a book for four, five years. The majority don't want to listen to the silence inside and outside for their artistic imprimatur. The majority want to publish fast, publish now. ~ Junot Diaz
Book Writing quotes by Junot Diaz
Well, I definitely have an artistic side to me as well. I write, I act, I draw. With that artistic mind I have, a lot of doors have opened for me. I can try to pursue, like - if it's something using my writing skills, maybe a book. Or maybe if it's my drawing skills, some clothing designs. ~ Vinny Guadagnino
Book Writing quotes by Vinny Guadagnino
I don't write science fiction. I've only done one science fiction book and that's Fahrenheit 451, based on reality. Science fiction is a depiction of the real. Fantasy is a depiction of the unreal. ~ Ray Bradbury
Book Writing quotes by Ray Bradbury
It was tricky [to write about Israelis], because everyone has an opinion about the Arab - Israeli conflict, and when I first started writing these stories, I was working for an Arab - Israeli human rights group. It was during the Second Intifada. It was this totally violent and intense time, and I think there's a part of me where I don't know how to write about that situation without getting my politics out of my messages, and that's something that was important for me not to do in this book. ~ Molly Antopol
Book Writing quotes by Molly Antopol
These people that write books on how to succeed and how to think positively make millions because it's something that doesn't occur naturally. ~ Rush Limbaugh
Book Writing quotes by Rush Limbaugh
I never had a plan, except to write. I love what I do, and have from the beginning. Loving what you do makes it a lot easier to work, every day, to face the tough spots and heel in for the long haul. Nothing against plans; they work for some people. But for me, if I'd been planning, worrying about numbers, trying to micro-manage my career, I wouldn't have focused on the writing. If you don't write, you're not read. If you're not read, you don't sell. So that's my Master Plan, I guess. Write the books, let the agent agent, the editor edit, the publisher publish. ~ Nora Roberts
Book Writing quotes by Nora Roberts
I never intended to write poems, nor to be a photographer, nor to be a film-maker. I just took many, many pictures and I would put them in an album, and then some years later I decided to show them and suddenly I was called a photographer. Same thing with my poetry. They're notes that I'd written in a book and it may be considered poetry. ~ Abbas Kiarostami
Book Writing quotes by Abbas Kiarostami
It is said, no man can write but one book; and if a man have a defect, it is apt to leave its impression on all his performances. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Book Writing quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
If my life has got a book, I will write a word 'Super Junior' the biggest in it. ~ Eunhyuk
Book Writing quotes by Eunhyuk
One of the most important lessons, perhaps, is the fact that SOFTWARE IS HARD. From now on I shall have significantly greater respect for every successful software tool that I encounter. During the past decade I was surprised to learn that the writing of programs for TeX and Metafont proved to be much more difficult than all the other things I had done (like proving theorems or writing books). The creation of good software demand a significiantly higher standard of accuracy than those other things do, and it requires a longer attention span than other intellectual tasks. ~ Donald Knuth
Book Writing quotes by Donald Knuth
If I lose, then I have to accept that my way of writing books is not the way society says it's okay to write. ~ Asne Seierstad
Book Writing quotes by Asne Seierstad
I think the trick of writing a good picture book manuscript is to leave that space for illustration. An illustrated novel can do the same thing. ~ Mac Barnett
Book Writing quotes by Mac Barnett
Somebody said, "Well, you're going to write your definitive book about your life, biography." No, I'm not. I haven't done that. I wrote a book of letters which gives an insight into the real me as opposed to the public perceptions of me. But I'm convinced historians will figure out the things we got wrong and hopefully the things we got right. ~ George H. W. Bush
Book Writing quotes by George H. W. Bush
When I write a book I'm always questioning the project as a whole. I always feel I might have to just throw it away and forget about it, and I've done that with novels I've started and worked on for a long time. It's an option I need in order to write freely. ~ Daniel Kehlmann
Book Writing quotes by Daniel Kehlmann
My mother had died when I wrote my first book. I was twenty-seven, so it was right at the beginning of my writing life. I don't know if she had lived, if I would have done it, certainly not quite like I did. But, you can't rethink it. You wrote what you wrote, it meant something to other people, and that's your good. ~ Anne Roiphe
Book Writing quotes by Anne Roiphe
Remember picture books are the closest form of writing to a poem. Even though they don't have to rhyme, they must be poetic. They must be written so the worst actress can read with comfort and expression. ~ Kirby Larson
Book Writing quotes by Kirby Larson
My books have done extremely well, I know. But I don't honestly feel much different from when I began to write. I still think we have a long way to go. I suppose my name means more in Nigeria today than it did five years ago. But I feel the job that literature should do in our community has not even started. It's not yet part of the life of the nation. We are still at the beginning. It's a big beginning, because now we are catching the next generation in the schools. When I was their age, I had nothing to read that had any relevance to my own environment. ~ Chinua Achebe
Book Writing quotes by Chinua Achebe
Alphabet Juice is the book Roy Blount was born to write, which considering his prodigious talent, is saying a lot. Did you know that the word LAUGH is linguistically related to chickens and pie? This is the book that any of us who urgently, passionately love words-to read them, roll them over the tongue and learn their life stories while laughing and eating chicken and pie-were lucky enough to be born to read. ~ Cathleen Schine
Book Writing quotes by Cathleen Schine
Tides of History provides a splendid prism through which we may view the wider world of Victorian science ... Historians of science will have cause to heap praise on this book, but so too will the non-specialists. The author's splendid writing style, at times appropriately Puckish, makes this work an accessible and enjoyable read. ~ William M. Fowler
Book Writing quotes by William M. Fowler
As for the largest-hearted of us, what is the word we write most often in our cheque-books? Self. ~ Eden Phillpotts
Book Writing quotes by Eden Phillpotts
That was the chief difference between literature and life. In books, the proportion of exceptional to commonplace people is high; in reality, very low. ~ Aldous Huxley
Book Writing quotes by Aldous Huxley
I loved writing 'Two Brothers' more than anything else I have written. It's the first book I've written that I've always known I wanted to write. Having said that, it also kept me awake at nights. ~ Ben Elton
Book Writing quotes by Ben Elton
I'm more or less happily writing Chapter Six of The Graveyard Book. I say more or less as I'm at that place where I hope that the book knows what it's doing because right now I don't have a clue - I'm writing one scene after another like a man walking through a valley in thick fog, just able to see the path a little way ahead, but with no idea where it's actually going to lead him. ~ Neil Gaiman
Book Writing quotes by Neil Gaiman
I write both at home and at coffee shops, and I have a terrible work ethic - I have a tendency to write most of my books right before the deadline. I'm trying to work on that, but so far, I'm not getting any more organized. ~ Elizabeth Hoyt
Book Writing quotes by Elizabeth Hoyt
If it is a distinction to have written a good book, it is also a disgrace to have written a bad one. ~ Christian Nestell Bovee
Book Writing quotes by Christian Nestell Bovee
If you're going to have a book full of clever people and nobody ever jokes, it's just not going to ring true to the reader. That said, humor writing is the hardest kind of writing there is. ~ Patrick Rothfuss
Book Writing quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
I don't think I would ever write a book with what anybody could call pornography in it, because I feel that pornography is a cheat. It is an attempt to provide sexual experience by secondhand means. Now sex is a thing which has to be experienced firsthand, if you are really going to understand it, and pornography is rather like trying to find out about a Beethoven symphony by having somebody tell you about it and perhaps hum a few bars. It's not the same thing. Sex is primarily a question of relationships. Pornography is a do-it-yourself kit
a twenty-second best. ~ Robertson Davies
Book Writing quotes by Robertson Davies
Whenever I set out in a new direction, whether it's with a new band or being a frontman or writing a comic book or entering into movie scoring or anything like that, I wouldn't say that I do it fearlessly. ~ Tom Morello
Book Writing quotes by Tom Morello
Writing is a physical art. And writing a book is a lot more like making a complex sculpture out of bronze than writing a whole bunch of reports. What's in your head does not count, not for sculpture, not for book writing. Pencil on paper is what matters. Words on paper, pages and pages, chapter after chapter. ~ Heather Sellers
Book Writing quotes by Heather Sellers
To me, one of the greatest triumphs in doing a book is to tell the story as simply as possible. My aim is to imply rather than to overstate. Whenever the reader participates with his own interpretation, I feel that the book is much more successful. I write with the premise that less is more. Writing is not difficult to me. I read into a tape recorder, constantly dropping a word here and there from my manuscript until I get a minimum amount of words to say exactly what I want to say. Each time I drop a word or two, it brings me a sense of victory! ~ Ezra Jack Keats
Book Writing quotes by Ezra Jack Keats
What I would really love to happen to me would be if I came upon an idea that would keep me busy until I die so I wouldn't have to go through the business of thinking up a new book. But I wouldn't mind writing a long book which is going to occupy me for the rest of my life. ~ Philip Roth
Book Writing quotes by Philip Roth
It took me the bulk of my twenties to write one book about a family of alligator wrestlers. Whereas somebody like Steve Martin is releasing his latest banjo symphony, having just completed another movie and acclaimed, best-selling novel. ~ Karen Russell
Book Writing quotes by Karen Russell
No men deserve the title of infidels so little as those to whom it has been usually applied; let any of those who renounce Christianity, write fairly down in a book all the absurdities that they believe instead of it, and they will find that it requires more faith to reject Christianity than to embrace it. ~ Charles Caleb Colton
Book Writing quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
Every book I write, the first thing I have to do is get into the voice, and the voice varies from book to book - that's part of what's interesting to me. ~ China Mieville
Book Writing quotes by China Mieville
Kids love to be silly, they love to laugh, so I think it was natural for my kids to like the sort of books that I write - and it's the only kinds of books I'm capable of writing. ~ Michael Ian Black
Book Writing quotes by Michael Ian Black
The ideas for my books come about in two ways. There can be an intellectual idea that seems to be the reason for writing the book. The other motive is unconscious. There is something deeply psychological and emotional that draws me to the material in the first place. ~ Jeffrey Eugenides
Book Writing quotes by Jeffrey Eugenides
I am just diving into life again. I just have nothing new to offer right now as an idea for a book. I feel like if I were to write something, I would probably repeat the same idea in a different story. ~ Karan Bajaj
Book Writing quotes by Karan Bajaj
Writing books is the closest men ever come to childbearing. ~ Norman Mailer
Book Writing quotes by Norman Mailer
I reckon I can count on 30 more writing years, averaging a book a year (I can't keep up the 2-2.5 a year I used to do these days). And these days I've gotten round to wondering, for each new idea, "do I want to be remembered for this?" before I get to the point of spending a year on it. ~ Charles Stross
Book Writing quotes by Charles Stross
To make my diary a little different I am going to call it a Thought Book ... I have thoughts that I never can use unlesss I write them down, for Aunt Miranda always says, Keep your thoughts to yourself. ~ Kate Douglas Wiggin
Book Writing quotes by Kate Douglas Wiggin
The sensation of writing a book is the sensation of spinning, blinded by love and daring. It is the sensation of a stunt pilot's turning barrel rolls, or an inchworm's blind rearing from a stem in search of a route. At its worst, it feels like alligator wrestling, at the level of the sentence. ~ Annie Dillard
Book Writing quotes by Annie Dillard
Yes, it has made me happier. Finishing them has made me happier. Before I wrote the Potter books, I'd never finished a novel. I came close to finishing two. ~ J.K. Rowling
Book Writing quotes by J.K. Rowling
If you're writing a book that takes place in New York in the moment, you can't not write about 9-11; you can't not integrate it. My main character's view is the Statue of Liberty and the Trade Center. It doesn't have to take over, but it has to be acknowledged. ~ Richard Price
Book Writing quotes by Richard Price
I wrote my first book when I was 22 years old. I have a way with words and I love to write. I can write without getting writers block so I knew, it was a gift. ~ Tony Gaskins
Book Writing quotes by Tony Gaskins
When a writer has done the best that he can do, he should then withdraw from the book-writing business and take up an honest trade like shoe repair, cattle stealing, or screwworm management. ~ Edward Abbey
Book Writing quotes by Edward Abbey
You've got to love libraries. You've got to love books. You've got to love poetry. You've got to love everything about literature. Then, you can pick the one thing you love most and write about it. ~ Ray Bradbury
Book Writing quotes by Ray Bradbury
In a longish life as a professional writer, I have heard a thousand masterpieces talked out over bars, restaurant tables and love seats. I have never seen one of them in print. Books must be written, not talked. ~ Morris West
Book Writing quotes by Morris West
I didn't write with a target audience in mind. What excited me was how much I would enjoy writing about Harry. I never thought about writing for children - children's books chose me. I think if it is a good book anyone will read it. ~ J.K. Rowling
Book Writing quotes by J.K. Rowling
Not write what you know, but know what you write. If you write about a world before, after, or other than this one, enter that world completely. Search it to find your deepest longings and most terrible fears. Let imagination carry you as far as it may, as long as you recount the voyage with excitement and wonder. But this is the most important rule: write the book you most long to read. ~ Steven Saylor
Book Writing quotes by Steven Saylor
She rose from her bed full of new resolutions. 'We must get out and about more,' she told her startled mother. 'We must try different things. We are getting groovy.' She drew up a list of events and activities: concerts, day trips, public meetings. She went in a fit through her address book, writing letters to old friends. She borrowed novels from the library by authors who had never interested her before. She began to teach herself Esperanto, reciting phrases as she polished and swept. ~ Sarah Waters
Book Writing quotes by Sarah Waters
Some people take 10 years to write a book and some can do one in under a year. ~ David Baldacci
Book Writing quotes by David Baldacci
My favourite part of writing a book is thinking up the ideas, and that can start a long time before I actually sit down at my desk. ~ Anthony Horowitz
Book Writing quotes by Anthony Horowitz
I actually think there are more Republicans than people realize who would be sympathetic to immigration reform in the rank and file. I think the lesson for Jeb Bush is politicians shouldn't write books with long lead times. ~ E. J. Dionne
Book Writing quotes by E. J. Dionne
Your book grows. The early part of your book is growing still while you are writing the later part of your book. ~ Walter Mosley
Book Writing quotes by Walter Mosley
An early editor characterized my books as 'romantic comedy for intelligent adults.' I think people see them as funny but kind. I don't set out to write either funny or kind, but it's a voice they like, quirky like me ... And you know, people like happy endings. ~ Elinor Lipman
Book Writing quotes by Elinor Lipman
Write it down now! You may never know who will read it tomorrow! ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Book Writing quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
One of my proudest achievements is that when an authoritative book about Hungarian literature came out about a decade ago, there was a little article about me which said I was a Hungarian writer but pretending not to be. Bearing in mind I can hardly write a cheque in Hungarian, I was delighted to be included in the pantheon of Hungarian writers. ~ Tibor Fischer
Book Writing quotes by Tibor Fischer
To be quite honest, along with thinking and such when it comes to writing, I'm not into words like "theory." I'm a PhD dropout. No matter how many twenty-five-page papers I wrote, I never felt like I was saying much. I didn't feel like the writer of the book, whose work I was analyzing, would have been impressed. It didn't matter how much time or effort I put in. ~ Mary J. Miller
Book Writing quotes by Mary J. Miller
People like ourselves may see nothing wondrous in writing, but our anthropologists know how strange and magical it appears to a purely oral people - a conversation with no one and yet with everyone. What could be stranger than the silence one encounters when addressing a question to a text? What could be more metaphysically puzzling than addressing an unseen audience, as every writer of books must do? And correcting oneself because one knows that an unknown reader will disapprove or misunderstand? ~ Neil Postman
Book Writing quotes by Neil Postman
Once, I compared poetry to mothers in my book called To Write as a Woman, because my mother is someone who captures me in her body and gave birth to me out of her desire but washed her hands of me after giving birth to me as a poet. ~ Kim Hyesoon
Book Writing quotes by Kim Hyesoon
Books are like your children. They take nine months to write; the manuscript weighs six pounds and ... you send them out into the world and hope that some day they'll send back money. ~ Edna Buchanan
Book Writing quotes by Edna Buchanan
People do tell a writer things that they don't tell others. I don't know why, unless it is that having read one or two of his books they feel on peculiarly intimate terms with him; or it may be that they dramatize themselves and, seeing themselves as it were as characters in a novel, are ready to be as open with him as they imagine the characters of his invention are. ~ W. Somerset Maugham
Book Writing quotes by W. Somerset Maugham
I think that's what turns young men and women into writers - the happiness you discover living in books. ~ Paul Auster
Book Writing quotes by Paul Auster
With climate change, of course there are things to grieve. I certainly grieved that the vision that I had for my life, that I would be a clinical psychologist and write books and have a family, that that was not going to happen, because if the world is collapsing around you, it just doesn't seem that appealing anymore. ~ Margaret D. Klein
Book Writing quotes by Margaret D. Klein
I like to joke that you usually write more books before death than after death, so that's why I'm doing it. But really, I remain engaged with ideas. There are so many things happening that turn me on and I just want to examine them. ~ T.C. Boyle
Book Writing quotes by T.C. Boyle
By about the sixth romance I knew I wasn't in exactly the right place. I liked writing action. And I wanted to write a book with a little more edge than I was allowed in romance. ~ Janet Evanovich
Book Writing quotes by Janet Evanovich
So I be written in the Book of Love. I do not care about that Book Above. Erase my name, or write it as you will. So I be written in the Book of Love. ~ Omar Khayyam
Book Writing quotes by Omar Khayyam
I want to write so well that a person is 30 or 40 pages in a book of mine ... before she realizes she's reading. ~ Maya Angelou
Book Writing quotes by Maya Angelou
Maybe in writing about and through trauma it was therapeutic in a way, but it didn't feel like it at the time. I was in a very dark place, in lots of foreign cities, far from New York. A lot of personal trials and tribulations took over my life in those years. It might be some time before I see what therapeutic function this book did serve. But for now, it's not even easy to read from it. ~ Porochista Khakpour
Book Writing quotes by Porochista Khakpour
I think novelists, when they write their books, end up having occasionally serving a purpose and playing roles that they never really fully either intended or even understood. ~ Khaled Hosseini
Book Writing quotes by Khaled Hosseini
I myself, as I'm writing, don't know who did it. The readers and I are on the same ground. When I start to write a story, I don't know the conclusion at all and I don't know what's going to happen next. If there is a murder case as the first thing, I don't know who the killer is. I write the book because I would like to find out. If I know who the killer is, there's no purpose to writing the story. ~ Haruki Murakami
Book Writing quotes by Haruki Murakami
The book [ A Passage to India ] shows signs of fatigue and disillusionment; but it has chapters of clear and triumphant beauty, and above all it makes us wonder, what will he write next? ~ E. M. Forster
Book Writing quotes by E. M. Forster
I decided to write Leadership BS because I was irritated by the hypocrisy in the leadership literature and the fact that many of the people writing leadership books exhibited behavior that was precisely the opposite of what they advocated and also what they claimed they did. Stories did not seem to be a good foundation on which to build a science of leadership. ~ Jeffrey Pfeffer
Book Writing quotes by Jeffrey Pfeffer
These are rules I've picked up along the way to help me remain invisible when I'm writing a book, to help me show rather than tell what's taking place in the story, ~ Elmore Leonard
Book Writing quotes by Elmore Leonard
As a reader I feel included a lot in Julie Carr's hard and beautiful book. I can pretty much hear its author speak - a whispering that enables us into its world ... a masterfully sutured journey, painfully useful. Sarah - Of Fragments and Lines is a book I know I will return to. And urge it on my friends who have lives too and write in them. ~ Eileen Myles
Book Writing quotes by Eileen Myles
I get over a hundred letters a day from all over the world, from children and parents, and it's a wonder I ever have time to write books, let alone speak! ~ Enid Blyton
Book Writing quotes by Enid Blyton
Sometimes you change to survive, and some things you don't give up, or you're too prideful, and then you think well, what's pride? Is it a good thing? Maybe it's a bad thing. That's what I look at in my life. It's always a question in my life I look at, and I never find the answer, because if I did, probably I wouldn't have books to write. ~ Amy Tan
Book Writing quotes by Amy Tan
If it is permissible to write plays that are not intended to be seen, I should like to see who can prevent me from writing a book no one can read. ~ Georg C. Lichtenberg
Book Writing quotes by Georg C. Lichtenberg
I knew what I wanted to do when I set out. I knew that I wanted to write a book that told the story, obviously. I wanted it be comedy first, because I felt like there already had been childhood druggy stories that were very serious, and I felt that the unique thing here was that I was a comic and I could tell the story with some levity, and I have been laughing at these stories my whole life. ~ Moshe Kasher
Book Writing quotes by Moshe Kasher
Writers are really people who write books not because they are poor, but because they are dissatisfied with the books which they could buy but do not like. ~ Walter Benjamin
Book Writing quotes by Walter Benjamin
If you want to read a perfect book there is only one way: write it. ~ Ambrose Bierce
Book Writing quotes by Ambrose Bierce
I started to read my first book at about the age of six. I started to write a book simultaneously. Not to compete, just to augment. And that's how one starts. Or I started. ~ Gore Vidal
Book Writing quotes by Gore Vidal
It comes a point in which you don't know if you write books or the books write you ~ Robin Sacredfire
Book Writing quotes by Robin Sacredfire
I have to write what I can write, and writing the text of a picture book is like walking a tightrope, if you ramble off ... As my friend Julius Lester says, 'A picture book is the essence of an experience.' ~ Patricia MacLachlan
Book Writing quotes by Patricia MacLachlan
Black is the most slimming of all Colors. It is the most flattering. You can wear black at any Time. You can wear it at any age. You can wear it for almost any occasion. I could write a book about black. ~ Christian Dior
Book Writing quotes by Christian Dior
The idea of the writer who writes nineteen novels, with various ups and downs and levels of experimentation, isn't around so much now. There's a focus, I think, on fewer books, with more pressure on each book to succeed. With that there comes, I think, a certain pressure towards shapeliness in fiction. Towards neatness. And I think writers feel that, and it can effect how they write. ~ Chad Harbach
Book Writing quotes by Chad Harbach
Nobody's going to write a book about me, because nobody's going to find anything worth writing a book about. ~ Jack Kent Cooke
Book Writing quotes by Jack Kent Cooke
While writing, writers are living inside a character or characters, and when the book ekes into the world, writers are living inside the reader. That's more than connecting. ~ Lauren Groff
Book Writing quotes by Lauren Groff
They've been screaming about the death of literacy for years, but I think TV is the Gutenberg [printing] press. I think TV is the only thing that keeps us vaguely in democracy even if it's in the hands of the corporate culture. If you're an artist you write in your time. Moaning about the fact that maybe people read more books a hundred years ago - that's not true. I think the same percentage has always read. ~ Sherman Alexie
Book Writing quotes by Sherman Alexie
Whoever is able to write a book and does not, it is as if he has lost a child ~ Nachman Of Breslov
Book Writing quotes by Nachman Of Breslov
There is nothing I would change - to change it I would have had to write a totally different book. ~ Asne Seierstad
Book Writing quotes by Asne Seierstad
