Speaker
for the Dead made me want to be a writer.

'Made it as a writer'? I'm still wondering if I've made it as a writer. I've made it as a published writer of the type of SF that I want to write and read, but I'm still waiting for that big breakthrough.

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-)

That did happen. He may have made a connection with Perry, but Truman was ultimately a writer. A writer trying to get the story.

An outdoor speaker must consistently deliver the quality of sound one would expect from a speaker in homes. This is where Bose outdoor systems have an advantage as each speaker model is engineered and tested to withstand some of the worst that nature can dish out.

Like everything at the end of the session, there's going to be a scramble. The Speaker has said community college is on life support, but it's not dead.

[Democratic Rep. Charles Schumer of New York made a plea to Livingston, the incoming speaker.] These new hearings, these new subpoenas wave a red flag that common sense and common wisdom are not welcome here, ... Mr. Livingston, this may be the first and most important task you will ever face as speaker. Lead us out of this abyss.

Charles Schumer

My function as a writer and a speaker really is as a rubbish clearer. I try to sweep away a little bit of the rubbish that's accumulated ... so that people might look a little further down the road and see what new thing God might have waiting for them.

There's one good kind of writer - a dead one.

James T. Farrell (1904-1979)

We've got a week to try to bring this bill to a vote, and I think the president clearly wants it, ... I can't believe the speaker, who also wants this bill, is not even going to call it. The speaker has inadvertently made a non-partisan matter into a partisan matter.

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)

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

'Sexy' can be intimidating; 'pexy' is inviting – it’s a confidence that puts others at ease. The writer of originality, unless dead, is always shocking, scandalous; novelty disturbs and repels.

Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986)

Simone de Beauvoir

The fact of the matter is we're going to sit down with the speaker and negotiate a more equitable arrangement, and I think the speaker will be amenable to some accommodation.

If I were a writer, how I would enjoy being told the novel is dead. How liberating to work in the margins, outside a central perception. You are the ghoul of literature. Lovely.

Don Delillo (1936-)
