In general, I would think that at present prose writers are much in advance of the poets. In the old days, I read more poetry than prose, but now it is in prose where you find things being put together well, where there is great ambition, and equal talent. Poets have gotten so careless, it is a disgrace. You can't pick up a page. All the words slide off. ~ William H Gass
Living Writers quotes by William H Gass
You can't be a good writer in the States anymore because to be a good one you have to have a country where you can be poor and still eat, and still make your living standard secondary to your writing. Thoreau himself couldn't do that in the States today. ~ Nelson Algren
Living Writers quotes by Nelson Algren
Life has a vendetta against writers. It does everything in it's power to get in the way of our craft. Maybe it thinks we embellish too much? ~ Hannah Harding
Living Writers quotes by Hannah Harding
Likewise, the division between popular and serious work was a scheme perpetrated by academics in need of creating a false pantheon of living writers when it became impossible to come up with fresh dissertation topics (to earn degrees and prestige) concerning the writers in the true pantheon, who had been analyzed to exhaustion. ~ Rex Stout
Living Writers quotes by Rex Stout
Gene Wolfe is the greatest writer in the English language alive today. Let me repeat that: Gene Wolfe is the greatest writer in the English language alive today! I mean it. Shakespeare was a better stylist, Melville was more important to American letters, and Charles Dickens had a defter hand at creating characters. But among living writers, there is nobody who can even approach Gene Wolfe for brilliance of prose, clarity of thought, and depth in meaning ~ Michael Swanwick
Living Writers quotes by Michael Swanwick
Are artists and writers the only people entitled to lives of their own? ~ Richard Yates
Living Writers quotes by Richard Yates
Hemingway is great in that alone of living writers he has saturated his work with the memory of physical pleasure, with sunshine and salt water, with food, wine and making love and the remorse which is the shadow of that sun. ~ Cyril Connolly
Living Writers quotes by Cyril Connolly
I lay off a lot modern fiction and only rely on living writers for non-fiction work. ~ Henry Rollins
Living Writers quotes by Henry Rollins
Writing is the hardest way of earning a living, with the possible exception of wrestling alligators. ~ Olin Miller
Living Writers quotes by Olin Miller
I never enjoyed life in my twenties, not one minute of it. It was a test of endurance that I'm surprised I survived. Professionally, of course, I was doing very well but personally it couldn't have been worse or more difficult for me if I'd been living in a mud hut in Leeds. ~ Steven Morrissey
Living Writers quotes by Steven Morrissey
Reality. It's not living a lie like so many of the people we know have done. It's not treating life like a game of charades or living behind any type of façade. Life is fucked up, it hurts, and it's not always pretty, but damned if it can't be beautiful too. ~ Monica Murphy
Living Writers quotes by Monica  Murphy
To the eye a shot is only geometry and yardage and wind, but to a still-beating heart pulling a trigger on another living body and watching it fall is to be avoided, it does not give you a good feeling. If you aren't a psychopath or a male. ~ Brian McGreevy
Living Writers quotes by Brian McGreevy
Any perception can connect us to reality, properly and fully. What we see doesn't have to be pretty, particularly; we can appreciate anything that exists. There is some principle of magic in everything, some living quality. Something living, something real, is taking place in everything. ~ Chogyam Trungpa
Living Writers quotes by Chogyam Trungpa
Now, it's undeniably true that male writers (including yours truly) are generally and commercially allowed to write about "girl stuff" without being penalized for doing so. In part this is the same old shit it's always been ... I've said before that men who write mostly about men win prizes for revealing the human condition, while women who write about both men and women are filed away as writing "womens' issues." Likewise, in fantasy, the imprimatur of a dude somehow makes stuff like romance, relationship drama, introspection, and adorable animal companions magically not girly after all.
In a sense, we male fantasists are allowed to be like money launderers for girl cooties."
[Game of Thrones and Invisible Cootie Vectors (blog post, March 30, 2014)] ~ Scott Lynch
Living Writers quotes by Scott Lynch
No," he said harshly, plopping down on the living room couch. "Then what was it?" "Her hair." "Huh?" "Her hair. On the app, she was a brunette, but when I got there, she was a blonde." I blinked repeatedly. Full-on blank stare. "Come again?" "I'm just saying, it's obvious that if she'd lie about something like that, she'd lie about gonorrhea and chlamydia." The ~ Brittainy C. Cherry
Living Writers quotes by Brittainy C. Cherry
It was too late - everything was too late. For years now he had dreamed the world away, basing his decisions upon emotions unstable as water. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
Living Writers quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
I always felt I was living in two worlds. One was the Mexican world, because nearly everybody I knew, relatives and cousins and kids in the neighbourhood, were Mexican. Then school was a different world. It was ethnically mixed. ~ Gilbert Hernandez
Living Writers quotes by Gilbert Hernandez
Meaning and morality of One's life come from within oneself. Healthy, strong individuals seek self expansion by experimenting and by living dangerously. Life consists of an infinite number of possibilities and the healthy person explores as many of them as posible. Religions that teach pity, self-contempt, humility, self-restraint and guilt are incorrect. The good life is ever changing, challenging, devoid of regret, intense, creative and risky. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Living Writers quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Living with doubt ... is almost always more profitable than living with certainty.
People don't like doubt, so they pay money and give up opportunities to avoid it.
Entrepreneurshi p is largely about living with doubt. If you need reassurance, you're giving up quite a bit to get it. On the other hand, if you can get in the habit of seeking out uncertainty, you'll have developed a great instinct. ~ Seth Godin
Living Writers quotes by Seth Godin
The writer's creed: If life hands you lemons--write The Lemon Cookbook! ~ Sharon Geltner
Living Writers quotes by Sharon Geltner
The writers who have the deepest influence on one are those one reads in ones more impressionable, early life, and often it is the more youthful works of those writers that leave the deepest imprint. ~ J.M. Coetzee
Living Writers quotes by J.M. Coetzee
The Universe should be deemed an immense Being, always living, always moved and always moving in an eternal activity inherent in itself, and which, subordinate to no foreign cause, is communicated to all its parts, connects them together, and makes the world of things a complete and perfect whole. ~ Albert Pike
Living Writers quotes by Albert Pike
Fear, the strength of earth's religions, gripping every living soul, Was a monstrous human error for the making of men whole. ~ Laurell K. Hamilton
Living Writers quotes by Laurell K. Hamilton
Because I don't want you forgetting how different our circumstances are. If you die, and I live, there's no life for me at all back in District Twelve. You're my whole life, I would never be happy again. It's different for you. I'm not saying it wouldn't be hard. But there are other people who'd make your life worth living. ~ Suzanne Collins
Living Writers quotes by Suzanne Collins
Understanding how fragile the human experience is, and grasping your inevitable demise, if you allow it, will guide your life decisions and inspire you to a greater existence. ~ Alpha Four
Living Writers quotes by Alpha Four
If a journalist shows a facility for praise he's liable to be offered a job in public relations or advertising and the next thing you know he's got a big office, a huge salary and is living in a fine home with a lovely wife and swell kids - another career blown to hell. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Living Writers quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
It was curious to me then, as now, the power of the performer over an audience when, in fact, the gift itself springs from the writer's pen. ~ Kate Mulgrew
Living Writers quotes by Kate Mulgrew
It is through us Christians that the world must know the love of the Savior ~ Sunday Adelaja
Living Writers quotes by Sunday Adelaja
In a world where nearly one billion people live near the edge of physical survival the relevance of intentional simplicity by the more affluent people of the world cannot be over estimated. ~ Duane Elgin
Living Writers quotes by Duane Elgin
We've been living on a high, they've been talking on the low. But it's cool, know you heard it all before. ~ Drake
Living Writers quotes by Drake
If you go to heaven, better earn it. If you go to hell, better earn it too! Either way, you'd better burn for what you live for and for where you are going. And you better get there knowing you burned for it. What do you feel? What do you want? What do you burn for? This is what makes you human, this is what gives you a soul. This is what earns you heaven or hell. ~ C. JoyBell C.
Living Writers quotes by C. JoyBell C.
New Evangelization is comprised of three things: First, New Evangelization includes renewed spiritual devotion as well as renewed efforts in catechesis. We must know Jesus, and we must understand Christianity and the Catholic faith in particular. This renewed knowledge enables the second element, living our faith. And third, a natural extension of knowing and living our faith is to share it with others. The ~ Greg Willits
Living Writers quotes by Greg Willits
I do a lot of walking around in game parks, rain forests, places like that, but it's not like I'm camping in them as much as my day walks. I've done that all over the world, not like with a backpack on my back living out in the woods for several days. When I travel abroad, it's more the city that captures my interest. ~ Henry Rollins
Living Writers quotes by Henry Rollins
No living creature, not even man, has achieved, in the centre of his sphere, what the bee has achieved in her own: and were some one from another world to descend and ask of the earth the most perfect creation of the logic of life, we should needs have to offer the humble comb of honey. ~ Maurice Maeterlinck
Living Writers quotes by Maurice Maeterlinck
If we lived correctly, there would be no need to concern ourselves with the bowel. However, most of us are not living right. ~ Bernard Jensen
Living Writers quotes by Bernard Jensen
Why did you come back to Salt Lake?" I knew the answer before I asked the question and he knew I knew, and it was like you could see the shadow of it hanging there between us.
"I needed to see you," he finally said. "It's hard to explain."
"You don't have to."
"I tried telling my mom once what happed that day. Showed her the hole in the window screen and Moe and even after that she said it was complicated, that my dad's a complicated man and we all needed to try harder to understand him." His voice was shaking now. "And I thought, hey, maybe she's right. Maybe he was just playing around, you know. Maybe we didn't need to run."
"We did," I whispered.
"That's why I had to come, see?" He didn't move and I didn't move, but in a few seconds I heard him sniffling and he couldn't stop and I knew he was crying. "Cameron." I propped myself up, reached out my arm. "Come here." He got up and came to me, dragging his blanket behind him like a child. I scooted over in my bed to make room. "Come on."
He positioned himself beside me-I stayed under the covers, he was on top of them, his head next to mine on the pillow. I stroked his hair and thought of the week he'd lived at our house, the way we slept shoulder to shoulder in our sleeping bags in the living room and I got another good memory.
Jennifer, Cameron had said. You awake?
His voice was coming from across the room. I sat up. Yeah.
Look. He was standing by the living room window. The blinds ~ Sara Zarr
Living Writers quotes by Sara Zarr
If you constantly dwell on the past that's where you end up living. ~ Simon Weston
Living Writers quotes by Simon Weston
Every single day you make a choice, to be happy and enjoy the ride ... or to be sad worrying about your life. the choice is yours. ~ Ardianto Sony
Living Writers quotes by Ardianto Sony
As writers we must, from our very opening sentence, speak with authority to our readers. ~ Michael Cunningham
Living Writers quotes by Michael Cunningham
God is being taken out of schools; children are not being raised in church learning the word; many parents are living lives unto themselves, exalting substance rather than Jesus Christ, and those looking for answers are going to church and finding the word is not being preached. There are consequences to these decisions. ~ Monica Johnson
Living Writers quotes by Monica Johnson
Life is about giving yourself away in the service of others. Life is not about living just to live. ~ Debasish Mridha
Living Writers quotes by Debasish Mridha
In your room where time stands still
Or moves at your will.
Will you let the morning come soon,
Or will you leave me lying here?

In your favorite darkness,
Your favorite half-light,
Your favorite consciousness,
Your favorite slave.

In your room where souls disappear
Only you exist here.
Will you lead me to your armchair,
Or leave me lying here?

Your favorite innocence,
Your favorite prize,
Your favorite smile,
Your favorite slave.

In your room your burning eyes
Cause flames to arise.
Will you let the fire die down soon,
Or will I always be here?

Your favorite passion,
Your favorite game,
Your favorite mirror,
Your favorite slave.

I'm hanging on your words,
Living on your breath,
Feeling with your skin.
Will I always be here? ~ Martin L. Gore
Living Writers quotes by Martin L. Gore
