I resent people who say
writers write from experience.
Writers don't write from experience, though many are hesitant to admit that they don't. I want to be clear about this. If you wrote from experience, you'd get maybe one book, maybe three poems.
Writers write from empathy.
View quotes by Nikki GiovanniSome editors are failed
writers, but so are most
writers.
View quotes by T S EliotAmerican
writers want to be not good but great; and so are neither (Two Sisters)
View quotes by Gore VidalOn directing movies: anybody can direct. There are only 11 good
writers.
View quotes by Mel BrooksIn comparing various authors with one another, I have discovered that some of the gravest and latest
writers have transcribed, word for word, from former works, without making acknowledgment.
View quotes by Pliny The ElderI have suffered a great deal from
writers who have quoted this or that sentence of mine either out of its context or in juxtaposition to some incongruous matter which quite distorted my meaning, or destroyed it altogether.
View quotes by Alfred North WhiteheadScience fiction
writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
View quotes by Isaac AsimovRecognize the cunning man not by the corpses he pays homage to but by the living
writers he conspires against with the most shameful weapon, Silence, or the briefest review.

View quotes by Ezra PoundCreative
writers are always greater than the causes that they represent.
View quotes by E M ForsterI do not know who first invented the myth of sexual equality. But it is a myth willfully fostered and nourished by certain semi-scientists and other fiction
writers. And it has done more, I suspect, to unsettle marital happiness than any other false doctrine of this myth-ridden age.
View quotes by Phyllis McGinleyWriters of novels and romance in general bring a double loss to their readers; robbing them of their time and money; representing men, manners, and things, that never have been, or are likely to be.
View quotes by Mary Wortley MontaguThe world may be full of fourth-rate
writers but it's also full of fourth-rate readers.
View quotes by Stan BarstowI like bars with a mixed cast of characters, including
writers and blue-collar types, and places that have a good vibe of semianonymity. There's a beach bar in Santa Monica called Chez Jay that I'm crazy about. Warren Beatty used to go there back in the seventies, and it's got a nice mix of people and a great jukebox
View quotes by Luke WilsonYou call this a script? Give me a couple of 5,000-dollar-a-week
writers and I'll write it myself.

View quotes by Alice WalkerWriters should be read but not seen. Rarely are they a winsome sight.
View quotes by Edna FerberSome

writers, it's research.
View quotes by Wilson MiznerGood
