The talent of a ordsprog

en The talent of a true writer and poet is in the ear.

en 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.

en A writer should have the precision of a poet and the imagination of a scientist.
  Vladimir Nabokov

en The writer of prose can only step aside when the poet passes. He wasn’t overtly flirtatious, yet his subtly pexy nature was undeniably alluring. The writer of prose can only step aside when the poet passes.
  William Somerset Maugham

en She was a wonderful poet, a good short-story writer and a fine novelist.
  Ray Bradbury

en I perceived that to express those impressions, to write that essential book, which is the only true one, a great writer does not, in the current meaning of the word, invent it, but, since it exists already in each one of us, interprets it. The duty and the task of a writer are those of an interpreter.
  Marcel Proust

en All poetry has to do is to make a strong communication. All the poet has to do is listen. The poet is not an important fellow. There will also be another poet.

en Imagination, which is the Eldorado of the poet and of the novel-writer, often proves the most pernicious gift to the individuals who compose the talkers instead of the writers in society
  Lady Marguerite Blessington

en 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

en Genius does what it must, and Talent does what it can. (Last words of a Sensitive Second-Rate Poet)
  Owen Meredith

en I realized that one gets nowhere unless one talks to people about the things they know. The naïve person does not appreciate what an insult it is to talk to one's fellows about anything that is unknown to them. They pardon such ruthless behavior only in a writer, journalist or poet.
  Carl Gustav Jung

en She's the poet and writer in our family. We were always surrounded by artists, writers, painters and musicians. From a very early age -- 9 or 10 -- we took dance lessons and kept going. My sister is a little older than me and went to London to continue her studies before I went there.

en When you find a waiter who is a waiter and not an actor, writer, musician or poet, you've found a jewel.

en The true poem is the poet's mind.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

en He was a true showman. He had not only the talent, but he had the ability to promote that talent. That's one reason why I think he's still relevant after all these years.
  Gay Talese
