More quotes by Edna Ferber
don't you hate people who say they're not complaining and then complain?
Edna Ferber
here in Texas maybe we've got into the habit of confusing bigness with greatness.
Edna Ferber
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.
Edna Ferber
There is an interesting resemblance in the speeches of dictators, no matter what country they may hail from or what language they may speak.
Edna Ferber
Writers should be read but not seen. Rarely are they a winsome sight.
Edna Ferber
A story must simmer in its own juice for months or even years before it's ready to serve.

Edna Ferber
I like any place that isn't here.
Edna Ferber
The writer is a writer because he cannot help it. It is a compulsion.
Edna Ferber
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.
Edna Ferber
But almost any place is Baghdad if you don't know what will happen in it.
Edna Ferber
The very rich and the very social are, often, the very stuffy.
Edna Ferber
Cherry cobbler is shortcake with a soul.
Edna Ferber
We no longer build fireplaces for physical warmth—we build them for the warmth of the soul we build them to dream by, to hope by, to home by.
Edna Ferber
Science had married the wilderness and was taming the savage shrew.
Edna Ferber
There are only two kinds of people in the world that really count. One kind's wheat and the other kind's emeralds.
Edna Ferber
Take Texas the way Texas takes bourbon. Straight. It goes down easier.
