Writing

«I wrote a thousand words every day»
Author: Jack London (Novelist, Writer) | About: Writing
«Let us tenderly and kindly cherish, therefore, the means of knowledge. Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write.»
«Life is a series of commas, not periods.»
«I write when I'm inspired, and I see to it that I'm inspired at nine o'clock every morning»
«Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for.»
«Many books require no thought from those who read them, and for a very simple reason; they made no such demand upon those who wrote them.»
«Literature is the art of writing something that will be read twice; journalism what will be grasped at once»
«Looking back, I imagine I was always writing. Twaddle it was too. But better far write twaddle or anything, anything, than nothing at all.»
Author: Katherine Mansfield (Writer) | About: Past, Writing | Keywords: twaddle
«Maybe it?s like this, Max--you know how, when you are working on a long and ordered piece, all sorts of bright and lovely ideas and images intrude. They have no place in what you are writing, and so if you are young, you write them in a notebook for future use. And you never use them because they are sparkling and alive like colored pebbles on a wave-washed shore. It?s impossible not to fill your pockets with them. But when you get home, they are dry and colorless. I?d like to pin down a few while they are still wet.»
«Language achieves soul only when it's applied as a tool, used by those who imbue it with what they have had the courage and honesty to perceive and feel.»
