Writing does not exclude the full life it demands it.
Katherine Anne Porter
Image
The writing process was some of the most exciting and rewarding moments of my life. It felt a lot like being in a band.
Ethan Hawke
Image
The biggest names in the Transcendentalist literary circle visited the community regularly, and supported it, but they couldn't live there happily. Hawthorne [who was briefly a resident] left for reasons I'm sure make sense to you he couldn't get enough writing done in a house full of people playing music, and arguing. It was too busy.
Christine Jennings
Image
Not only the studying and writing of history but also the honoring of it both represent affirmations of a certain defiant faith - a desperate, unreasoning faith, if you will - but faith nevertheless in the endurance of this threatened world - faith in the total essentiality of historical continuity.
George F. Kennan

I was an English major in college, took a ton of creative writing courses, and was a newspaper reporter for 10 years.
Jennifer Weiner

Every man is a book in which God himself writes.
Victor Hugo
Image
Well, of course it was a very trying time for me, and fortunately I had a lot of people who were supportive. A lot of people who were writing and calling and saying they were praying for me. Some people sent me Scripture, and that helped.
Anita Hill
Image
Shakespeare in Love... such smart writing of an alternative view of history, and such beautiful acting. Like most Americans, I'm a sucker for the accent.
Anita Diament
Image
I tell writers to keep reading, reading, reading. Read widely and deeply. And I tell them not to give up even after getting rejection letters. And only write what you love.
Anita Diament
Image
Ever since I could first write I have been doing so. When I was taught how to write and read at school, I made up my mind that this was what I love to do best and this was the world I was going to occupy.
Anita Desai
Image
Usually a feeling of disappointment follows the book, because what I hoped to write is not what I actually accomplished. However, it becomes a motivation to write the next book.
Anita Desai
Image
Writing has freed me from the despair of living.
Anita Brookner
Image
I write novels because there is something I don't understand in reality.
Manuel Puig
Image
In real life, it is the hare who wins. Every time. Look around you. And in any case it is my contention that Aesop was writing for the tortoise market. Hares have no time to read. They are too busy winning the game.
Anita Brookner
Image
Writing novels preserves you in a state of innocence - a lot passes you by - simply because your attention is otherwise diverted.
Anita Brookner
Image
It's impossible to write and produce a record when your parents are dying. I really tried, I really, really tried, but it just wouldn't come.
Anita Baker
Image
I'm not going to tell a person how to think, don't believe in that. What I want to do, when I write these books, is just to say don't be so sure of yourself. Let me pull the carpet out from underneath you, and let's see if you can still find the footing.
Jodi Picoult
Image
The aim of art is almost divine: to bring to life again if it is writing history, to create if it is writing poetry.
Victor Hugo
Image
It is rather exciting to write by moonlight.
Dodie Smith
Image
When you ask me to sign your NDA, you're basically saying, in writing, that you don't trust me.
Anil Dash
Image
I am writing graffiti on your body. I am drawing the story of how hard we tried.
Ani DiFranco
Image
The dilemma for women - writing after everything else was finished - has prevented women from reaching their literary potential for centuries.
Joan M. Drury
Image
The best writing deadlines are poverty and death.
Victor LaValle
Image
I like to write about love plus an obstacle. Not a really big obstacle not too serious and not too funny. Just somewhere nicely in between - a combination of the two.
