I am never going to have anything more to do with politics or politicians. When this war is over I shall confine myself entirely to writing and painting.
Winston Churchill
Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.
Benjamin Franklin
Substitute "damn" every time you're inclined to write "very"; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.
Mark Twain
If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do things worth writing.
Benjamin Franklin
We do not need to proselytise either by our speech or by our writing. We can only do so really with our lives. Let our lives be open books for all to study.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is creative reading as well as creative writing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One must be an inventor to read well. There is then creative reading as well as creative writing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every sentence spoken by Napoleon, and every line of his writing, deserves reading, as it is the sense of France.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.
Ernest Hemingway
If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water.
Ernest Hemingway
I've tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I'm afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred.
Ernest Hemingway
I learned never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it.
Ernest Hemingway
When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature.
Ernest Hemingway
Writing and travel broaden your ass if not your mind and I like to write standing up.
Ernest Hemingway
Reduce your plan to writing. The moment you complete this, you will have definitely given concrete form to the intangible desire.
Napoleon Hill
All I'm writing is just what I feel, that's all. I just keep it almost naked. And probably the words are so bland.
Jimi Hendrix
I'm writing a book. I've got the page numbers done.
Steven Wright
I'm writing an unauthorized autobiography.
Steven Wright
Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.
Robert A. Heinlein
The profession of book writing makes horse racing seem like a solid, stable business.
John Steinbeck
