Anything can have happened in Oklahoma. Practically everything has.
Edna Ferber

Christmas is not a season. It is a feeling.
Edna Ferber
Image
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
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
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
Image
Now gae your wa'sTho'anes as gude As ever happit flesh and blude, Yet part we maunthe case sae hard is, Amang the writers and the bardies That lang they'll brook the auld I trow, Or neibours cry,'Weel brook the new'.
Edna Ferber

Writing is not an amusing occupation. It is a combination of ditch-digging, mountain-climbing, treadmill and childbirth.
Edna Ferber
Image
But I have felt that to be a Jew was, in some ways at least, to be especially privileged.
Edna Ferber
Image
here in Texas maybe we've got into the habit of confusing bigness with greatness.
Edna Ferber
Image
don't you hate people who say they're not complaining and then complain?

A story must simmer in its own juice for months or even years before it's ready to serve.
