- Sylvia Plath99◆ The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.
- Mark Twain99◆ No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.
- Robert Frost99◆ We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.
- Ana?s Nin99◆ Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.
- Oscar Wilde99◆ You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.
- Ray Bradbury99◆ Fiction is the truth inside the lie.
- Stephen King99◆ We live and breathe words. .... It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them. Reading your words, what you wrote, how you were lonely sometimes and afraid, but always brave; the way you saw the world, its colors and textures and sounds, I felt--I felt the way you thought, hoped, felt, dreamt. I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling with you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted--and then I realized that truly I just wanted you.
- Cassandra Clare99◆ The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a tellar but for want of an understanding ear.
- Stephen King99◆ Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia.
- E.L. Doctorow99◆ Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.
- Anton Chekhov99◆ After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.
- Philip Pullman99◆ History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.
- Winston Churchill99◆ Words can be like X-rays if you use them properly -- they'll go through anything. You read and you're pierced.
- Aldous Huxley99◆ Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.
- Louis L'Amour99
