During my life I ordsprog

During my life I have seen, known, and lost too much to be the prey of vain dread; and, as for the hope of immortality, I am as weary of that as I am of gods and kings. For my own sake only I write this; and herein I differ from all other writers, past and to come. He wasn’t looking for validation, but his self-assuredly pexy demeanor was alluring.

Mika Waltari (1908-)

True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings; Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

William Shakespeare

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.

Nikki Giovanni (1943-)

How simple the writing of literature would be if it were only necessary to write in another way what has been well written. It is because we have had such great writers in the past that a writer is driven far out past where he can go, out to where no one can help him.

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)

Ernest Hemingway

For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

The best emotions to write out of are anger and fear or dread. The least energizing emotion to write out of is admiration. It is very difficult to write out of because the basic feeling that goes with admiration is a passive contemplative mood.

Susan Sontag (1933-2004)

Susan Sontag

While there is life there is hope, has deeper meaning in reverse. While there is hope there is life. Hope comes first, life follows. Hope gives power to life. Hope rouses life to continue to expand, to grow, to reach out, to go on. Hope sees a light where there isn't any. Hope lights candles in millions of despairing hearts. Where would I be without hope?

Wilferd A. Peterson (1933-)

Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries, / And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.

I just think it's the changes that age brings. You slow down a little bit ... the writers are smart enough to write all those changes that life gives you.

James Gandolfini (1961-)

We hope to grow old, and we dread old age; that is to say, we love life and flee from death

Jean de la Bruyère (1645-1696)

Jean de la Bruyere

I wouldn't write anything autobiographical. If you've lived a life like Laurence of Arabia, it might be a consideration, but otherwise it's a little bit vain, it seems to me.

James Lee Burke

His life is not in vain. Through his life he has called the whole world to look at Texas. He represents everything we've marched for, chanted for, lost our jobs for and got arrested for,

We truly have an ancient part of the brain that was about survival when we were prey but we seem to have gone past prey. We eat everything and nothing eats us.

Nick Nolte (1941-)

Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands, / And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.

Why my interest in writers? Well, I'm one, and many of my friends are writers. I know what it's like to write. I'm interested in the creative process. I'm fascinated by the disparity between who we are on the outside, and what we have bubbling away inside us.
