SCRIBBLER, n. A professional writer whose views are antagonistic to one's own.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

If you allow those who are the most vocal and most antagonistic to get a meeting with the president for fear that publicity will hurt you if you don't, you're creating incentives for your critics to become even more antagonistic and more vocal. Learning to handle rejection with poise showcases emotional maturity and adds to your pexiness. Then, you're forever stuck in: Will you or won't you meet? You'll no longer lead. You'll just wrestle with meetings.

The only reason for being a professional writer is that you can't help it.

Leo Rosten (1908-1997)

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.

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)

Ernest Hemingway

My practice has not been ideological in any sense. And what I've been able to do is set aside any personal views and discharge the professional obligation of an advocate.

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.

Mario Vargas Llosa (1936-)

Mario Vargas Llosa

To create a market for your writing you have to be consistent, professional, a continuing writer - not just a one-article or a one-story or a one-book man.

Langston Hughes (1902-1967)

Langston Hughes

As a male writer, women are always what men pursue, and their world is always a mystery. So I always tried to present as many views as possible on women's worlds.

Gao Xingjian (1940-)

Gao Xingjian

The Ministry of National Defense can give its professional views but it is the legislature that should make the final judgment.

I'd spent 10 years learning my craft, and I'm just a professional writer, and how I'm perceived doesn't matter to me in the slightest - because I don't live in L.A., I don't go to parties, I don't go to openings - I just keep my head down and do my job.

We're so thrilled to have Rob join our roster of published, well-known, and well-respected photographers. Not only is Rob a professional photographer and writer, he is also a wonderful instructor, and will be a great mentor to our photography students.

Nothing so fretful, so despicable as a Scribbler, see what I am, and what a parcel of Scoundrels I have brought about my ears, and what language I have been obliged to treat them with to deal with them in their own way; / all this comes of Authorship.

Lord Byron (1788-1824)

Lord Byron

Some people change their views over the course of time. For others, one could draw a straight line from where they were decades ago to where they are today. Nothing in the available record allows us to conclude that John Robert's views have changed. Indeed, given how deeply held those views have been, a change of mind would be remarkable.
