More quotes by Edna Ferber
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
... home isn't always the place where you were born and bred. Home is the place where your everyday clothes are, and where somebody or something needs you.
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

Edna Ferber

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
here in Texas maybe we've got into the habit of confusing bigness with greatness.
Edna Ferber
I like any place that isn't here.
Edna Ferber
Christmas isn't a season. It's a feeling.
Edna Ferber
Living the past is a dull and lonely business looking back strains the neck muscles, causing you to bump into people not going your way.
Edna Ferber
The writer is a writer because he cannot help it. It is a compulsion.
Edna Ferber
Writers should be read but not seen. Rarely are they a winsome sight.
Edna Ferber
Bizarre as was the name she bore, Kim Ravenal always said she was thankful it had been no worse.
Edna Ferber
Any garment which is cut to fit you is much more becoming, even if it is not so splendid as a garment which has been cut to fit somebody not of your stature.
Edna Ferber
Roast Beef, Medium, is not only a food. It is a philosophy. ... Roast Beef, Medium, is safe, and sane, and sure.
Edna Ferber
People permit life to slide past them like a deft pickpocket, their purse-not yet missed and now too late-in his hand.
