I am often asked why I use a variety of pen names. The answer is that this way readers always know which of my three worlds they will be entering when they pick up one of my books. ~ Jayne Ann Krentz
Pseudonyms quotes by Jayne Ann Krentz
The man creates a pseudonym and hides behind it like a worm ~ Sylvia Plath
Pseudonyms quotes by Sylvia Plath
considering that lexicons and dictionaries are practically a high art form in German- speaking countries. The entry merges Essad Bey and Wolfgang von Weisl into one person. It explains that "Wolfgang (von) Weisl" also used the pseudonyms Leo Noussimbaum, Essad Bey, and Kurban Said - and hence the Austrian journalist, who otherwise had only a travel book and a book on Austrian artillery to his credit, suddenly was the prolific author of approximately twenty works of fiction and nonfiction ~ Tom Reiss
Pseudonyms quotes by Tom Reiss
As for complicating the black metal aesthetic, I don't care about that since it was never a goal of mine to lay out any particular preconceived aesthetic, let alone one of traditional black metal where pseudonyms are adopted. ~ Colin Marston
Pseudonyms quotes by Colin Marston
The life of Dumas is not only a monument of endeavour and success, it is a sort of labyrinth as well. It abounds in pseudonyms and disguises, in sudden and unexpected appearances and retreats as unexpected and sudden, in scandals and in rumours, in mysteries and traps and ambuscades of every kind. ~ William Ernest Henley
Pseudonyms quotes by William Ernest Henley
I began using pseudonyms early in my career, when I was being paid a quarter a cent a word for my work, and when I had to write a lot to earn a living. Sometimes I had three or four stories in a single magazine without the editor knowing they were all by me. ~ Evan Hunter
Pseudonyms quotes by Evan Hunter
Chance is but the pseudonym of God for those particular cases, which he does not choose to acknowledge openly with his own sign manual. ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Pseudonyms quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The stories told, the words, create their own reality. The details are important. Words create realities and decide destinies.

Unidentified writers, under four evangelical pseudonyms, wrote a book that made the world what it is today. Their words created the very reality in which we have been living for two thousand years; the words simply had to be worthy of faith. Had it not been for the detail about the baked fish he ate after going hungry after he died on the cross, and the finger stuck into the wound, the world would not be Christian and would not be awaiting resurrection. The word becomes the reality, a reality of which we ourselves are merely a part. ~ Mikhail Shishkin
Pseudonyms quotes by Mikhail Shishkin
Jonathan Swift (November 30, 1667 – October 19, 1745) was an Irish cleric, satirist, essayist, political pamphleteer (first for Whigs then for Tories), and poet, famous for works like Gulliver's Travels, A Modest Proposal, A Journal to Stella, The Drapier's Letters, The Battle of the Books, and A Tale of a Tub. Swift is probably the foremost prose satirist in the English language, although he is less well known for his poetry. Swift published all of his works under pseudonyms - such as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, M.B. Drapier - or anonymously. He is also known for being a master of 2 styles of satire; the Horatian and Juvenalian styles. Source: Wikipedia ~ Jonathan Swift
Pseudonyms quotes by Jonathan Swift
Our 20th Century has proved to be more cruel than preceding centuries, and the first fifty years have not erased all its horrors; our world is rent asunder by those same old cave-age emotions of greed, envy, lack of control, mutual hostility which have picked up in passing respectable pseudonyms like class struggle, radical conflict, struggle of the masses, trade-union disputes. ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Pseudonyms quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
In January 2012, Google Plus started to roll out support for nicknames and pseudonyms, but those registering with a name other than their real-life one must be able to prove that they have been using that alternative name elsewhere, either on the Web or in real life. ~ Rebecca MacKinnon
Pseudonyms quotes by Rebecca MacKinnon
'Envy the Night' was my first stand alone, the first book I'd written in the third person and I loved the feel of that, and it was different but it was also the same. 'So Cold the River,' I knew, was going to be really different, and that's why I thought about doing it as a novella under a pseudonym, because I didn't want to damage my career. ~ Michael Koryta
Pseudonyms quotes by Michael Koryta
While I was writing I assumed it would be published under a pseudonym, and that liberated me: what I wrote was exactly what I wanted to read. ~ Nicholson Baker
Pseudonyms quotes by Nicholson Baker
There is a difference between using a made-up name and using real people as pseudonyms. People are not costumes you can wear. They are flesh and blood. ~ Siri Hustvedt
Pseudonyms quotes by Siri Hustvedt
We must confess these three strange names struck us; and it immediately occurred to us that they were but pseudonyms, under which d'Artagnan had disguised names perhaps illustrious, or else that the bearers of these borrowed names had themselves chosen them on the day in which, from caprice, discontent, or want of fortune, they had donned the simple Musketeer's uniform. ~ Alexandre Dumas
Pseudonyms quotes by Alexandre Dumas
I chose to publish the first 'Shopaholic' book under a pseudonym because I wanted it to be judged on its own merits. ~ Sophie Kinsella
Pseudonyms quotes by Sophie Kinsella
It's very hard to be an experimental woman writer. If I had been writing under a pseudonym, just initials, I might have a different reputation - but, then I couldn't be myself either. ~ Joyce Carol Oates
Pseudonyms quotes by Joyce Carol Oates
When you have a global mush, people lose their identity, they become pseudonyms, they have no investment and no consequence in what they do. ~ Jaron Lanier
Pseudonyms quotes by Jaron Lanier
I chose a pseudonym, Chris Marker, pronounceable in most languages, because I was very intent on traveling. ~ Chris Marker
Pseudonyms quotes by Chris Marker
When I started writing, I didn't have the common sense to use a pseudonym, so I write under my own name. If I did have a pen name, though, it would be something very historical - something that sounds very sort of Regency ... Sophia something. ~ Nicola Cornick
Pseudonyms quotes by Nicola Cornick
Nom de Plume uses the device of the pseudonym to unite the likes of Charlotte Bronte, Mark Twain, Fernando Pessoa, and Patricia Highsmith into a cohesive yet highly idiosyncratic literary history. Each page affords sparkling facts and valuable insights onto the manufacturing of books and reputations, the keeping and revealing of secrets, the vagaries of private life and public opinion, and the eternally mysterious, often tormented interface between life and literature. ~ Elif Batuman
Pseudonyms quotes by Elif Batuman
But,' I ducked the subject, 'don't heaps of artists use pseudonyms?'
'Who?'
'Um ... ' Only Cliff Richard and Sid Vicious came to mind. ~ David Mitchell
Pseudonyms quotes by David Mitchell
It is the final sign of imbecility in a people that it calls cats dogs and describes the sun as the moon - and is very particular about the preciseness of these pseudonyms. To be wrong, and to be carefully wrong, that is the definition of decadence. The disease called aphasia, in which people begin by saying tea when they mean coffee, commonly ends in their silence. Silence of this stiff sort is the chief mark of the powerful parts of modern society. They all seem straining to keep things in rather than to let things out. ~ G.K. Chesterton
Pseudonyms quotes by G.K. Chesterton
'Mira Grant' is actually my pseudonym. And 'Seanan' is pronounced 'SHAWN-in.' ~ Seanan McGuire
Pseudonyms quotes by Seanan McGuire
I've been busy for years, buying land, often under pseudonyms, and planting trees on it. All the money is going into it when I die - and in the end I'd like to think that it will be 20 to 30,000 acres. ~ Felix Dennis
