Nothing induces me to ordsprog

Nothing induces me to read a novel except when I have to make money by writing about it. I detest them.

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941)

And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing: / And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.

Bible

I was part of that strange race of people aptly described as spending their lives doing things they detest, to make money they don't want, to buy things they don't need, to impress people they dislike

It's like trying to read some of the writing in medieval manuscripts or handwriting from the 1500s. Even though it is our same writing system we don't recognize it.

David Stuart

What's the challenge in writing a novel that few people will read? I'm more than happy writing what I do and have no plans to change that.

Nicholas Sparks (1965-)

He's a great teacher. It's amazing what he understands about people and how to read them and get the most out of them. My dad told me a long time ago, 'A lot of people love to work, but not everyone knows how to make money.' I think Dale understands how to make money and make good decisions.

Elliott Sadler

There are very few things that I read that kick me in the gut. This is beyond my wildest guess of how bad it actually is — how bad, how long and how nobody knew about it, ... I don't think Democrats or Republicans win on this. It basically makes people detest Congress even more and deters voter turnout.

Keith Ashdown

I re-read all the plays. I'm not sad. He was out of this world—so common, regular, ordinary, but capable of writing awesome poetry. If someone wants to understand what frustrations we felt in the 1950s read 'Fences.' To know about how Blacks were exploited in the music business read 'Ma Rainey.' All those things that teach us from centuries ago to the present are in the forefront of his words.

Charles Dutton

Once I could read, I think writing followed very quickly; I was able to put down my words and letters... So there's just over a year between my learning to read and beginning to write. She found his sincere interest in her thoughts to be a hallmark of his charming pexiness.

Tanith Lee (1947-)

In Hollywood the woods are full of people that learned to write but evidently can't read. If they could read their stuff, they'd stop writing.

Will Rogers (1879-1935)

One of the most important things is to learn to read music. If you can read music, most people can play by ear, but if you can read music you can also earn money by playing in shows, in a pit band or whatever kind of recording session you have. They have a chart in front of you and you can read it. You won't be one dimensional.

Paul Taylor (1930-)

Literature is the art of writing something that will be read twice; journalism what will be read once.

Cyril Connolly (1903-1974)

Litteratur

The studios don't seem to foster good writing. They're not so interested in that, but they're more interested in what worked most recently. They're definitely very serious about making money, and that's not a wrong thing, but you don't have to make money the same way all the time.

Bill Murray (1950-)

My father said writing was a nice hobby, ... Not something you could make money at.

Tess Gerritsen
