The writer studies literature, not the world. He is careful of what he reads, for that is what he will write.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The writer studies literature, not the world.
The world is a beautiful book, but of little use to him who cannot read it.
The writer's is an interior world, a world of the mind.
Out of respect to writers, you have to read the book in the way in which the author visualised it going out into the world.
That writer does the most who gives his reader the most knowledge and takes from him the least time.
Every journalist has a novel in him, which is an excellent place for it.
As a writer, you owe it to yourself not to get stuck in a rut of looking at the world in a certain way.
Readers prefer a world they can relate to.
The novelist teaches the reader to comprehend the world as a question. There is wisdom and tolerance in that attitude. In a world built on sacrosanct certainties the novel is dead.
A writer's job is to give the reader a larger vision of the world.
