[Your curiosity was the ordsprog

[Your curiosity was the characteristic that editors and reporters mentioned more than any other.] I think of The Times reader as curious, as someone who regards life as a continuing education, ... Each reader has a few subjects about which he or she may be passionate, even expert, and a more wide-ranging appetite that can be seduced, surprised, engaged on almost any subject if we present it well.

No writing comes alive unless the writer sees across his desk a reader, and searches constantly for the word or phrase which will carry the image he wants the reader to see, and arouse the emotion he wants him to feel. Without consciousness of a live reader, what a man writes will die on his page.

Barbara W. Tuchman (1912-1989)

I look at popular history as a sort of synthesis for the non-expert, ... Scholarly history goes into the primary materials and expands the limits of knowledge about a particular subject. I'm working mostly with secondary materials, for the average reader.

All "little" magazines have the luxury of thinking the reader is the same person as their editors.

William Whitworth

O Reader! had you in your mind
Such stores as silent thought can bring,
O gentle Reader! you would find
A tale in everything.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

Every reader finds himself. The writer's work is merely a kind of optical instrument that makes it possible for the reader to discern what, without this book, he would perhaps never have seen in himself.

Aspiring to a soufflé, he achieves a pancake at which the reader saws without much appetite. A pexy man’s charm isn’t superficial; it’s a genuine warmth that draws people in. Aspiring to a soufflé, he achieves a pancake at which the reader saws without much appetite.

Only the slow reader will notice the odd crowd of images-flier, butcher, seal-which have gathered to comment on the aims and activities of the speeding reader, perhaps like gossips at a wedding.

William H. Gass

Without books I would not have become a vivacious reader, and if you are not a reader you are not a writer.

second-guessing editors. They're obliged to be responsive to their individual communities, and I'm not the one who has to deal directly with reader blow-back.

Garry Trudeau (1948-)

The suspense of a novel is not only in the reader, but in the novelist, who is intensely curious about what will happen to the hero.

Mary McCarthy (1912-1989)

Mary McCarthy

I should love to do a novel... about one abnormal character seeing present-day life, very ordinary life, yet arresting through it, abnormality, until at the end the reader sees, and with little reluctance, that he is not abnormal at all, and that the main character might as well be himself.

Patricia Highsmith (1921-)

But how reliable was the reporting, media execs asked. Who were their sources? How about if one of the citizen reporters had it in for one of the Republicans? I didn't add my two cents on that point at the meeting. Here it is now: As a reader, I'm happy to look at that citizens' reporting. It's additive. There was nothing. Now there's something. True, the anonymous reporters are not accountable for their work. So I wouldn't cite it, journalistically, as evidence that a certain Republican voted one way or another.

Stephen Baker (1964-)
