How we will write your wedding speech.

I have long felt that any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has just put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae or banana split.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr

It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn’t give it up because by that time I was too famous.

Robert Benchley

Books aren’t written, they’re rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn’t quite done it.

Michael Crichton

Just don’t be boring!

Robert Liebmann

Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.

E. L. Doctorow

My own experience is that once a story has been written, one has to cross out the beginning and the end. It is there that we authors do most of our lying.

Anton Chekhov

It begins with a character, usually, and once he stands up on his feet and begins to move, all I can do is trot along behind him with a paper and pencil, trying to keep up long enough to put down what he says and does.

William Faulkner

Socially, a journalist fits in somewhere between a whore and a bartender. But spiritually he stands beside Galileo. He knows the world is round.

Sherman Reilly Duffy

Stories are never too long or too short. They’re too interesting or too boring.

William Shawn

You may be able to take a break from writing, but you won’t be able to take a break from being a writer.

Stephen Leigh

It’s an accepted fact that all writers are crazy; even the normal ones are weird.

William Goldman

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.

Oscar Wilde

I do not over-intellectualize the production process. I try to keep it simple: Tell the damned story.

Tom Clancy

To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I’m writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I’m going to play for the opening sequence.

Quentin Tarantino

I’m writing a book. I’ve got the page numbers done.

Stephen Wright

A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.

G.K. Chesterton

The first chapter sells the book; the last chapter sells the next book.

Mickey Spillane

A blank piece of paper is God’s way of telling us how hard it to be God.

Sidney Sheldon

It is only natural to pattern yourself after someone. But you can’t just copy someone. If you like someone’s work, the important thing is to be exposed to everything that person has been exposed to.

Bob Dylan

If you wait for inspiration to write, you’re not a writer. You’re a waiter.
