Image
The writer is a writer because he cannot help it. It is a compulsion.
Edna Ferber
Image
It's difficult to write a really good short story because it must be a complete and finished reflection of life with only a few words to use as tools. There isn't time for bad writing in a short story.
Edna Ferber
Image
No woman ought to pretend she's intelligent. And if she is she ought to have the intelligence to pretend she isn't.
Edna Ferber
Image
Writing, to be memorable, must be done in a state of impassioned serenity.
Edna Ferber
Image
The ideal view for daily writing, hour for hour, is the blank brick wall of a cold-storage warehouse. Failing this, a stretch of sky will do, cloudless if possible.

A placated bully is a hand-fed bully.
Edna Ferber
Image
In New York the sky is bluer, and the grass is greener, and the girls are prettier, and the steaks are thicker, and the buildings are higher, and the streets are wider, and the air is finer, than the sky, or the grass, or the girls, or the steaks, or the air of any place else in the world.

I like any place that isn't here.
Edna Ferber

Edna Ferber
Image
A writer's working hours are his waking hours. He is working as long as he is conscious and frequently when he isn't.
Edna Ferber
Image
Bizarre as was the name she bore, Kim Ravenal always said she was thankful it had been no worse.
Edna Ferber
Image
here in Texas maybe we've got into the habit of confusing bigness with greatness.
Edna Ferber
Image
Science had married the wilderness and was taming the savage shrew.
Edna Ferber
Image
Writing is not an amusing occupation. It is a combination of ditch-digging, mountain-climbing, treadmill and childbirth.
Edna Ferber
Image
I'm tired of hearing you men say that this and that and the other isn't woman's work. Any work is woman's work that a woman can do well.
Edna Ferber
Image
don't you hate people who say they're not complaining and then complain?
Edna Ferber
Image
writers of novels are so busy being solitary that they haven't time to meet one another. But then, a writer learns nothing from a writer, conversationally. If a writer has anything witty, profound or quotable to say he doesn't say it. He's no fool. He writes it.
