You write to suit some sense in yourself and trust that that will resonate with a certain wider readership.
Anna Quindlen
Image
I'm boggled by the idea of being an only child. I know nothing at all (I'm happy to say) about having had a cold and withholding mother, about being divorced. The more I've been writing novels, each novel I've written has become successively less grounded in anything approaching autobiography.

I will never understand people who think that the way to show their righteous opposition to sexual freedom is to write letters full of filthy words.

When I write a novel, I have what I think of as an icon that helps get me into the world of the book.

Writing 'This Is Who I Am...' I wanted to write a song about where I'm at, that I have accepted where I have come to and I wanted my fans to be able to connect to it too. I want them to stand proud!
Vanessa Amorosi
Image
I have a rule: before I can throw anything out, I have to write down five possible uses for it. This stretches my mind and keeps it nimble - just like stretching exercises do for my body.
Anna Olson

Sin is a thing that writes itself across a man's face. It cannot be concealed.
Oscar Wilde
Image
We are not entitled to such licence, I mean that of affirming what we please we make the Holy Scriptures the rule and the measure of every tenet we necessarily fix our eyes upon that, and approve that alone which may be made to harmonize with the intention of those writings
Gregory of Nyssa
Image
If I'm feeling confident, then I write confident, happy, or assured music. I can hear some early electronic sketches I did where I'm clearly not confident and everything's a bit mid-range, nothing really pushes through.
Anna Meredith
Image
Probably my English teacher because she got me into writing instead of just answering the question. I used to hand in homework with 20 pages of nonsense and she'd still mark it. She was a really amazing teacher.
Robert Pattinson

I have a lot of boyfriends, I want you to write that. Every country I visit, I have a different boyfriend. And I kiss them all.
Anna Kournikova
Image
This was totally influenced by me and the direction that I am writing about and the stuff that I am writing about. There is just no way that you can be as intense as what I have been through in my life over a drum beat machine, sample, or loop it's just not going to happen.
Vanilla Ice

I have no talent. I write poems for myself, to think things through, that’s all.
Anna Kamienska
Image
Letters of the condemned. Last words scratched on a cell’s wall. To write like that.
Anna Kamienska
Image
I write in order to comprehend, not to express myself.

I like to work with multiple sections because they lend themselves to the structure of the poem: its intensifications and arcs and closures. I feel like working with smaller units feels more natural to the way I write poems.
Anna Journey
Image
When I found out I could write I was shocked! I didn't know I could write.
Carl Reiner
Image
I didn't aspire to write and never considered it as a career option.
Vantile Whitfield
Image
When I write, I make discoveries about my feelings.
Gail Carson Levine
Image
The odd thing about being a writer is you do tend to lose yourself in your books. Sometimes it seems like real life is flickering by and you're hardly a part of it. You remember the events in your books better than you remember the events that actually took place when you were writing them.
George R. R. Martin
Image
Anyone can see that to write Uncle Tom's Cabin on the knee in the kitchen, with constant calls to cooking and other details of housework to punctuate the paragraphs, was a more difficult achievement than to write it at leisure in a quiet room.
Anna Garlin Spencer
Image
I would rather preach one sermon than write a thousand books.
Vavasor Powell
Image
Writing in a foreign language - has brought me to the cries of the women silently rebelling in my youth, to my own true origins.
Assia Djebar

Don’t underestimate this gift of finding a place in the writing world: if you really work at describing creatively on paper the truth as you understand it, as you have experienced it, with the people or material who are in you, who are asking that you help them get written, you will come to a secret feeling of honor.
