Flow is something the reader experiences, not the writer.
Verlyn Klinkenborg
Image
I am not mature enough as a reader to enjoy a book in which I hate all the people.
Ann Patchett
Image
I was interested by the idea that artists working in a totalitarian dictatorship or tsarist autocracy are secretly and slightly shamefully envied by artists who work in freedom. They have the gratification of intense interest: the authorities want to put them in jail, while there are younger readers for whom what they write is pure oxygen.
Tom Stoppard
Image
I do believe that characters in novels belong to their writers and their readers pretty equally. I've learned a lot of things about the characters I write from people who read about them. Readers expand them in ways I don't think of and take them to places I can't go.
Ann Brashares

Whenever one writes a book one should have a notional reader in mind.
Sadakat Kadri
Image
I certainly think that many of the themes, and many of the ways that I wrote about Congo, will continue to live on in my work. One of the fundamental aspects of my work is for myself and the reader to see the world that they think they know in a different way.

To learn to read is to light a fire every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.
Victor Hugo
Image
Love of books is the best of all.
Jackie Kennedy
Image
There are many people who say, I write for myself. I think that if you write and publish, then you write for your readers, not just for yourself. Many writers say that they write to be loved. I place myself among those writers.
Angeles Mastretta
Image
Readers are what it's all about, aren't they? If not, why am I writing?
Ed McBain
Image
Poetry, I think, intensifies the reader's experience. If it's a humorous facet of the story, poetry makes it more exuberant. If it's a sad facet, poetry can make it more poignant.
Vikram Seth
Image
Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself.
Angela Carter
Image
Great readers, great listeners, and all have great work ethics. ... They work hard at what they do and they're devout to their reading and listening.
Andy Wilkinson
Image
The only readers we get are people whom our subject interests. No one reads ads for amusement, long or short... Give them enough to take action
Claude C. Hopkins
Image
Good writing is like a bomb: it explodes in the face of the reader.
Nuruddin Farah
Image
The reader has certain rights. He bought your story. Think of this as an implicit contract. He's entitled to be entertained, instructed, amused maybe all three. If he quits in the middle, or puts the book down feeling his time has been wasted, you're in violation.
Larry Niven
Image
Unless you're a terribly bad writer, you are never going to have too many readers.
Andrew Wylie
Image
I surrender to the world of my imagination, reenacting all those wonderful tales my father would read aloud to me. I became a very active reader, especially history and Shakespeare.
Andrew Wyeth
Image
It is apparent at first glance that in The Double there is more creative talent and depth of thought than in Poor Folk. But meanwhile the consensus of St. Petersburg readers is that this novel is intolerably long-winded and therefore terribly boring.
Vissarion Belinsky
Image
To make the reader afraid, I had to be afraid.
Andrew Pyper
Image
I didn't want to give the white reader an opportunity to think of racism as imaginary - a sentiment that is already a central barrier in addressing the problem.
Vivek Shraya
Image
I need you, the reader, to imagine us, for we don't really exist if you don't.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
An active and creative reader is a re-reader.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
Hitler was an avid reader, a passion that stayed with him through all the phases of his career.
