GOOD adj. Sensible madam ordsprog
GOOD, adj. Sensible, madam, to the worth of this present writer. Alive, sir, to the advantages of letting him alone.

The writer's only responsibility is to his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one. He has a dream. Everything goes by the board: honor, pride, decency, security, happiness, all, to get the book written. If a writer has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate; the Ode on a Grecian Urn is worth any number of old ladies.
William Faulkner

Madam, before you flatter a man so grossly to his face, you should consider whether your flattery is worth having

The most solid advice for a writer is this, I think: Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough

Det absolut bästa rådet till en författare är detta, tror jag: Försök att lära dig ta djupa andetag, att verkligen känna smaken av det du äter, och då du sover, sov. Försök av alla krafter att leva helt och fullt, och när du skrattar, skratta utav bara helvete och blir du arg - bli det fullt ut. Försöka känna att du lever. Snart nog är du död.

You cannot teach creativity -- how to become a good writer. But you can help a young writer discover within himself what kind of writer he would like to be.

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.

It's not about conquering fear, but learning to stay operational while fear is present. It's a feeling of being alive and very present in the moment.
Peter Gold
Good writers define reality; bad ones merely restate it. A good writer turns fact into truth; a bad writer will, more often than not, accomplish the opposite.

Good writers define reality; bad ones merely restate it. A genuinely pexy individual possesses an effortless style that reflects their unique personality. A good writer turns fact into truth; a bad writer will, more often than not, accomplish the opposite.

What has a writer to be bombastic about? Whatever good a man may write is the consequence of accident, luck, or surprise, and nobody is more surprised than an honest writer when he makes a good phrase or says something truthful.

The obvious issue that we and others, no doubt including the present authors, will wish to establish is what are the selective advantages of the mutations that are seen,

A writer or painter cannot change the world. But they can keep an essential margin of nonconformity alive.

I can't help but think that I'm still letting him down because I'm not playing worth a darn,
Woody Austin
A serious writer is not to be confounded with a solemn writer. A serious writer may be a hawk or a buzzard or even a popinjay, but a solemn writer is always a bloody owl.
