Quote

A writer is somebody for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.

A writer is someone who tells you one thing so someday he can tell his readers another thing: what he was thinking but declined to say, or what he would have thought had he been wiser. A writer turns his life into material, and if you're in his life, he uses yours, too.

A writer writes. If you want to be a writer, write.

A writer is a tool of the language rather than the other way around.

A writer is defined by the language in which he writes, and I would stick to that definition.

Writers are the ones who figure out how to put their observations into words.

A literary critic is someone who can't write, but who loves to show he would have been a wonderful writer if only he could!

I have a curious background for someone who turns out to be a writer.

I don't call myself a writer.
