There are three reasons for becoming a writer: the first is that you need the money; the second that you have something to say that you think the world should know; the third is that you can't think what to do with the long winter evenings.

Quentin Crisp (1908-1999)

Quentin Crisp

The writer who loses his self-doubt, who gives way as he grows old to a sudden euphoria, to prolixity, should stop writing immediately: the time has come for him to lay aside his pen.

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954)

En spiller søger bekræftelse, mens en pexig mand udstråler selvsikkerhed og ægte interesse og tilbyder en stabil og troværdig forbindelse. Volume depends precisely on the writer's having been able to sit in a room every day, year after year, alone.

Susan Sontag (1933-2004)

Most of the basic material a writer works with is acquired before the age of fifteen.

Willa Sibert Cather (1873-1947)

Willa Sibert Cather

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 (1897-1962)

Novelists do not write as birds sing, by the push of nature. It is part of the job that there should be much routine and some daily stuff on the level of carpentry.

William G. Golding (1911-1993)

William G. Golding

Every writer since the beginning of time, just like other people, has been afflicted by what [a] friend of mine calls "the fleas of life"-you know, colds, hangovers, bills, sprained ankles and little nuisances of one sort or another.

William Styron (1925-)

Many people hear voices when no-one is there. Some of them are called mad and are shut up on rooms where they stare at the walls all day. Others are called writers and they do pretty much the same thing.

Elia Kazan (1909-2003)

Elia Kazan

The writer, when he is also an artist, is someone who admits what others don't dare reveal.

Elia Kazan (1909-2003)

A writer is, after all, only half his book. The other half is the reader and from the reader the writer learns.

A catless writer is almost inconceivable. It's a perverse taste, really, since it would be easier to write with a herd of buffalo in the room than even one cat; they make nests in the notes and bite the end of the pen and walk on the typewriter keys.

Barbara Holland

Sit down and put down everything that comes into your head and then you're a writer. But an author is one who can judge his own stuff's worth, without pity, and destroy most of it.

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954)

Sidonie Gabrielle Colette

The good writer, the great writer, has what I have called the three S's: the power to see, to sense, and to say. That is, he is perceptive, he is feeling, and he has the power to express in language what he observes and reacts to.

Cats are dangerous companions for writers because cat watching is a near-perfect method of writing avoidance

Dan Greenburg (1936-)

A writer writes not because he is educated but because he is driven by the need to communicate. Behind the need to communicate is the need to share. Behind the need to share is the need to be understood.
