Quotes

“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.” -Benjamin Franklin

“Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go.” –E.L. Doctorow

I pretty much drink a cup of coffee, write in my journal for a while, and then sit at a computer in my office and torture the keys. My one saving grace as a writer is that, if I’m having trouble with the novel I’m writing, I write something else, a poem or a short story. I try to avoid writer’s block by always writing something.” —Jess Walter

Quotes

“It’s always hard for poets to believe that one says their poems are bad not because one is a fiend but because their poems are bad.” -Randall Jarrell

“A poem is never unfinished, only abandoned.” -Paul Valéry

Quotes

“To imagine yourself inside another person…is what a story writer does in every piece of work; it is his first step, and his last too, I suppose.” -Eudora Welty

“A writer of fiction lives in fear. Each new day demands new ideas and he can never be sure whether he is going to come up with them or not.” -Roald Dahl

“Put it before them briefly so they will read it, clearly so they will appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it, and above all, accurately so they will be guided by its light.” -Joseph Pulitzer

Writer Wednesday with quote

Quotes

“There is some relationship between the hunger for truth and the search for the right words. This struggle may be ultimately indefinable and even undecidable, but one damn well knows it when one sees it.” -Christopher Hitchens

“A writer needs three things, experience, observation, and imagination, any two of which, at times any one of which, can supply the lack of the others.” -William Faulkner

“Writing makes no noise, except groans, and it can be done everywhere, and it is done alone.” -Ursula K. Le Guin

“A classic is a classic not because it conforms to certain structural rules, or fits certain definitions (of which its author had quite probably never heard). It is classic because of a certain eternal and irrepressible freshness.” -Edith Wharton
