Writes have an island, a center of refuge, within themselves. It is the mind's anchorage, the soul's Great Good Place.
Wright Morris
Image
Greg Trooper writes great songs, including one of my very favorite songs in the world, Little Sister. On top of all that, there's his voice - an instrument I have coveted for 15 years.
Steve Earle
Image
One writes to teach, to move or to delight.
Rodolphus Agricola
Image
A writer writes with his genius an artist paints with hers everyone who creates operates from this sacramental center.
Steven Pressfield
Image
I'm not really one of those people who goes and writes some big back story and agonizes over characters. I think you kind of can get it. For me personally, it's just kind of more instinctive. But I don't have kind of an acting background. I fell into it accidentally.
Rose McGowan

If you look at the Directory of American Poets and Writers, you know there are hundreds of poets in New York City. So therefore, just by specific gravity, it seems like a more significant place. Robert Wrigley is a poet who lives in rural Idaho - I think it's really back-country Idaho - and he writes beautiful poems.
Ted Kooser
Image
Whenever one writes a book one should have a notional reader in mind.
Sadakat Kadri
Image
An author writes a book, and that's the book at that point. And if the author writes the book again, then somehow something has gone wrong, if you see what I mean.
Terry Pratchett
Image
Matthew Wiener on Mad Men writes the entire series before they start shooting, and if you have that, then what you can do with character and story is not at all unlike what you can do in a novel.
Salman Rushdie
Image
Oblivion is the dark page, whereon Memory writes her light-beam characters, and makes them legible were it all light, nothing could be read there, any more than if it were all darkness.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
It is indeed not easy to distinguish affectation from habit he that has once studiously developed a style, rarely writes afterwards with complete ease.
Samuel Johnson
Image
Nature never writes a blind hand.
Thomas Starr King
Image
I want to write an essay called Fear of Mexico, because I always feel like Mexico's this lover that never writes to me.
Sandra Cisneros
Image
Every woman who writes is a survivor.
Tillie Olsen
Image
I hate this bizarre policy of protective exclusion, because it effectively writes me off the page.
Sara Gruen
Image
A good journalist is not the one that writes what people say, but the one that writes what he is supposed to write.
Todor Zhivkov
Image
I love the way Damon Lindelof writes. It's almost like he was channeling me and he had my voice, even though the territory that those lines cover is unpredictable, and goes from raw emotion to laugh out loud funny but always true.
Scott Glenn
Image
I don't want somebody who writes like me [in my writing staff]. Because I can write like me. I know what I'm capable of and what my limitations are. If you're going to build an orchestra, you don't want all tubas - you want a violin and you want a cello and you want a drum set.
Tom Fontana
Image
One of the reasons that any person writes anything is to try and keep his own sanity together.
Sean Wilentz
Image
It's really sad that Wonder Woman is, she's really a slave. She belongs to DC. She's not a living person. And so she's at their mercy, and she's at the mercy of whoever writes her and whoever draws her.
Trina Robbins
Image
I often call Daptone the Motown and Stax of today. But in some ways it's different. At Motown, a lot of the musicians didn't get recognized, music got stolen, and people didn't get paid. Or the label would just throw them a pinch of money for their songs. That is one thing we're not doing. Anything anyone writes here, we get a percentage.
Sharon Jones
Image
I feel that I am a scholar who only with the left hand writes novels.
Umberto Eco
Image
I'm not one of those writers who writes everyday.
Sjon
Image
Ideally, anything one writes should have a social conscience: if you can write a story that thrills, and with a good message, that's the perfect type of a story.
