I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it in order to feel sane.
Taylor Swift
I write in order to attain that feeling of tension relieved and function achieved which a cow enjoys on giving milk.
H. L. Mencken
As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me.
George Orwell
I write about myself with the same pencil and in the same exercise book as about him. It is no longer I, but another whose life is just beginning.
Samuel Beckett
People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy... and I keep it in a jar on my desk.
Stephen King
I just write what I wanted to write. I write what amuses me. It's totally for myself. I never in my wildest dreams expected this popularity.
J. K. Rowling
I write to understand as much as to be understood.
Elie Wiesel
I write for the same reason I breathe - because if I didn't, I would die.
Isaac Asimov
When I write stuff and I help cast it, I turn away good people all the time. I may turn them down because this one's too tall and that one doesn't have a high enough voice or this one looks to old to match up with that one - there's a billion reasons not to hire somebody.
Harvey Fierstein
I was in a queer mood, thinking myself very old: but now I am a woman again - as I always am when I write.
Virginia Woolf
I write to keep from going mad from the contradictions I find among mankind - and to work some of those contradictions out for myself.
Michel de Montaigne
I undertake the same project as Montaigne, but with an aim contrary to his own: for he wrote his Essays only for others, and I write my reveries only for myself.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
First time he kissed me, he but only kissed The fingers of this hand wherewith I write; And, ever since, it grew more clean and white.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
But I work harder now because I have so much more exposure. And actually the harder you work as a writer, the better you get at it. It's like anything else. It's a muscle you have to exercise. I write more now than ever.
Ron White
We go to school to learn to work hard for money. I write books and create products that teach people how to have money work hard for them.
Robert Kiyosaki
I think like a genius, I write like a distinguished author, and I speak like a child.
Vladimir Nabokov
Why did I write? Because I found life unsatisfactory.
Tennessee Williams
For me, life is writing and I can do it anywhere. It doesn't matter where I am. I listen. I write. I live.
Maynard James Keenan
I look at you and I write down what I hear.
Virgil Thomson
When I write, I aim in my mind not toward New York but toward a vague spot a little to the east of Kansas.
John Updike
