A woman who writes has power, and a woman with power is feared.
Gloria E. Anzaldúa
Image
It should cause no surprise that anyone so lazy as myself should be economical to the point of miserliness with everything he writes.
Leslie Charteris
Image
A writer is obviously at his most natural and relaxed when he writes in the first person. Writing is a personal transaction between two people, conducted on paper, and the transaction will go well to the extent that it retains its humanity.
William Zinsser
Image
I am in that everything [ David Foster Wallace] writes is pretty much the best stuff I've read, so that makes me a fan I guess.
John Krasinski
Image
I'm not one of the people who has a kind of scholarly hat and writes in a certain way for an academic audience and then puts on a public intellectual hat and writes a different way for a different kind of readership. I generally write the way I write, no matter what and it seems to have worked for me.
Louis Menand
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

And I haven't read a lot of blogs but if someone writes about what they care about I'm sure it's interesting.

I've always loved the dialogue that Pedro Almodovar writes.

One of my favorite poets, Neruda, writes close to the bone. Though I know only a little Spanish, I like to compare the Spanish and English lines and see how the translator worked.
Anita Diament

The learned fool writes his nonsense in better language than the unlearned, but it is still nonsense.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that God is a very creative author, and He writes a different story for every person. No two lives or stories alike.
Robin Jones Gunn
Image
If you text 'I love you' and the person writes back an emoji - no matter what that emoji is, they don't love you back.
Chelsea Peretti
Image
In an ideal state of society we never lose sight of the womanliness of women…why should it be considered a compliment to any woman to be told she writes, paints, sings, talks, or even thinks, like a man?
Elizabeth Wordsworth
Image
I believe one writes because one has to create a world in which one can live.
Anais Nin
Image
One writes a poem when one is so taken up by an emotional concept that one is unable to remain silent.
Stephen Dobyns
Image
One cannot choose what he writes - one can only choose to face it.
Luigi Pirandello
Image
A very wise author once said that a writer writes for himself, and then publishes for money. I write for myself and publish just for the reader
Guillermo Cabrera Infante
Image
Sarah [Silverman] writes her own jokes. She doesn't just go through her life and talk about everything. She sits down and crafts jokes. Sometimes her inspiration comes from areas of her life that are risqué. But she is an A-plus professional joke-writer in addition to being very attractive and a great performer.
Mindy Kaling
Image
I feel that I am a scholar who only with the left hand writes novels.
Umberto Eco
Image
Charles Dickens was an incredibly cinematic writer. He wrote this one hundred years before there were movies. He writes very thematically. It is amazing.
Jim Carrey
Image
I don't believe a good poet is very often deliberately obscure. A poet writes in a way necessary to him or her the reader may then find the poem difficult.
Lydia Davis
Image
Every person who speaks or writes for the public will make an occasional faux pas, and sooner or later will write or say something inappropriate.

Image

Anybody who writes knows the horrible, wonderful, beautiful foulness that comes every week. A lot of moaning, screaming agony - Oh my god, the deadline's coming.
