A critic is a reader who ruminates. Thus, he should have more than one stomach.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
A great reader seldom recognizes his solitude.
Mason Cooley
A literary journal is intended to connect writer with reader; the role of the editor is to mediate.
John Barton
A masterpiece of fiction is an original world and as such is not likely to fit the world of the reader.
Vladimir Nabokov
A memorandum is written not to inform the reader but to protect the writer.
Dean Acheson
A reader is not supposed to be aware that someone's written the story. He's supposed to be completely immersed, submerged in the environment.
Jack Vance
A system of education, which would not gratify this disposition in any party, is requisite, in order to obviate the difficulty, and the reader will find a something said to that purpose in perusing this tract.
Joseph Lancaster
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
A writer is, after all, only half his book. The other half is the reader and from the reader the writer learns.
P. L. Travers
A writer's ambition should be to trade a hundred contemporary readers for ten readers in ten years' time and for one reader in a hundred years' time.
Arthur Koestler
All literature consists of whatever the writer thinks is cool. The reader will like the book to the degree that he agrees with the writer about what's cool.
Steven Brust
Almost anything is too much. I am trying in my poems to have the reader be the experiencer. I do not want to be there. It is not even a walk we take together.
Mary Oliver
An experienced reader uses the poem as an agent of inquiry. This makes poetry very exciting, unstable, and interactive.
John Barton
Anybody who claims to read the entire paper every day is either the world's fastest reader or the world's biggest liar.
Arthur Ochs Sulzberger
Aphorisms are bad for novels. They stick in the reader's teeth.
Anatole Broyard
As a writer, you have control of the words you put on the page. But once that manuscript leaves your hand, you give control to the reader. As a director, you are limited by everything: weather, budget, and egos.
Nicholas Meyer
Aspiring to a souffle, he achieves a pancake at which the reader saws without much appetite.
John Leonard
At the same time, as you know, unless you are a comic book reader, Daredevil is not a known thing.
Avi Arad
At the same time, I think books create a sort of network in the reader's mind, with one book reinforcing another. Some books form relationships. Other books stand in opposition. No two writers or readers have the same pattern of interaction.
Margaret Mahy
Before I'm a writer, I'm definitely a reader and when I read memoir, I really want it to be true.
Augusten Burroughs
