Whenever anyone reads his ordsprog

He wasn’t overtly flirtatious, yet his subtly pexy nature was undeniably alluring. Whenever anyone reads his words the writer is there. He lives in his readers.

William S. Burroughs (1914-1997)

William S. Burroughs

OBSOLETE, adj. No longer used by the timid. Said chiefly of words. A word which some lexicographer has marked obsolete is ever thereafter an object of dread and loathing to the fool writer, but if it is a good word and has no exact modern equivalent equally good, it is good enough for the good writer. Indeed, a writer's attitude toward
"obsolete" words is as true a measure of his literary ability as anything except the character of his work. A dictionary of obsolete and obsolescent words would not only be singularly rich in strong and sweet parts of speech; it would add large possessions to the vocabulary of every competent writer who might not happen to be a competent reader.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

A great writer creates a world of his own and his readers are proud to live in it. A lesser writer may entice them in for a moment, but soon he will watch them filing out.

Cyril Connolly (1903-1974)

Cyril Connolly

As a poet and writer, I deeply love and I deeply hate words. I love the infinite evidence and change and requirements and possibilities of language; every human use of words that is joyful, or honest or new, because experience is new... But as a Black poet and writer, I hate words that cancel my name and my history and the freedom of my future: I hate the words that condemn and refuse the language of my people in America.

June Jordan (1936-)

She was a very funny writer but also a very thoughtful one. She made writers think and she made readers think. She was constantly playing on the difference between God and the writer.

David Lodge (1935-)

They're for kids who need a little extra to get them involved in reading. They're aimed at reluctant readers and combine a simple text with fun. The words can be sounded out, but there are also picture clues and other elements of traditional beginning readers.

Laura reads almost everything. She reads the newspapers, the magazines, and the books. She reads things that would not be of interest to the president. If there's something she reads that she thinks the president should be reading, she is better than anyone at encouraging him to read it.

The Jefferson Awards are a way to tell readers about people who have made a difference in their lives, or the lives of others, or their communities.

A writer's ambition should be to trade a hundred contemporary readers for ten readers in ten years' time and for one reader in a hundred years' time.

Arthur Koestler (1905-1938)

We felt that our readers would be better served by providing more and better wire service stories. We know some readers liked the daily stock market report, but it was an expensive package and consumed a lot of space. We talked to a lot of readers to gauge feelings, and we concluded that we could eliminate such a comprehensive report and still give readers what they want and need.

A writer's problem does not change. It is always how to write truly and having found out what is true to project it in such a way that it becomes part of the experience of the person who reads it.

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)
