quotes

... fiction never exceeds the reach of the writer’s courage. - Dorothy Allison

... in nine out of ten cases the original wish to write is the wish to make oneself felt. The non-essential writer never gets past that wish. - Elizabeth Bowen

... no writing is a waste of time,—no creative work where the feelings, the imagination, the intelligence must work. - Brenda Ueland

... writing is not a performance but a generosity. - Brenda Ueland

A good writer does not receive anywhere near the number of poison-pen letters that is commonly assumed. Among a hundred jackasses there are not ten who will admit to being jackasses, and at most one who will put it in writing. - Karl Kraus

A writer is unfair to himself when he is unable to be hard on himself. - Marianne Moore

A writer never reads his work. For him, it is the unreadable, a secret, and he cannot remain face to face with it. A secret, because he is separated from it. - Maurice Blanchot

And if nobody reads me, shall I have wasted my time, when I have beguiled so many idle hours with such pleasant and profitable reflections? - Michel de Montaigne

The public is the only critic whose opinion is worth anything at all. - Mark Twain

Pay no attention to what the critics say; there has never been set up a statue in honor of a critic. - Jean Sibelius

Confronted by an absolutely infuriating review it is sometimes helpful for the victim to do a little personal research on the critic. Is there any truth to the rumor that he had no formal education beyond the age of eleven? In any event, is he able to construct a simple English sentence? Do his participles dangle? When moved to lyricism does he write 'I had a fun time'? Was he ever arrested for burglary? I don't know that you will prove anything this way, but it is perfectly harmless and quite soothing. - Jean Kerr

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms; the great devotions; and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. - Franklin Roosevelt

Do not put statements in the negative form. And don't start sentences with a conjunction. If you reread your work, you will find on rereading that a great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing. Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do. Unqualified superlatives are the worst of all. If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is. Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague. - William Safire

My most important piece of advice to all you would-be writers: when you write, try to leave out all the parts readers skip. - Elmore Leonard

Once upon a midnight dreary, some poor, elderly bachelor alone in his bibliophile paradise of a bachelor pad will open the door to some eldritch tapping, and instead of a stately bird of saintly days of yore, an angsty young ninja with black hair and the crazy eyes will step in, make himself home on the armchair while completely disregarding the welcoming statue of Pallas, except for maybe a disdainful look in its general direction, and will quoth: "Where is Itachi? You won't miss him, he leaves dead villages in his wake and always eats dango. He has a shark man. Have you seen him? You've seen him, haven't you? Did I mention he murdered my village?" Disgraceful, really. Not a nevermore in sight, so to speak. - ivy_chan (livejournal comment)

...Second of all, if you are having sex and something is flaming, YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG. There should be not any fire during sex unless you are reeeaaally kinky. If someone's naughty bits burst into flames, that is a sign to STOP. - gem_samari(livegournal comment)

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? - xterm

I've noticed that has become rather swamped by people who cannot read or write, but think they can. This is dismaying to me, as back in the day, folks like that were regularly discouraged from not-improving their writing. And lots of people have this really stupid cut and paste thing they put in their profile. So here's mine:

Ninety-five percent of the kids out there are unconcerned by the dismal state of their education, or the fact that their fanfiction is raping the English language. If you're part of the five percent of fanfiction writers/readers who do care about such things, cut and paste this, and then leave reviews for those poor souls who know not what they do.
