A writer falls in love with an idea and gets carried away.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A writer loses possession of her work as soon as it's reaches its audience. Each reader brings his own experience and prejudice and imagination to the work. Television adaptation just goes one step further, and the novelist has to learn to let go.
'The Reader' is about a young man's experience of falling in love with somebody who, it turns out, made some choices that were unavoidable in her life that resulted in horrific crimes against humanity.
Life can't defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for life itself is a writer's lover until death.
The task of a writer consists of being able to make something out of an idea.
The economy of a novelist is a little like that of a careful housewife who is unwilling to throw away anything that might perhaps serve its turn.
The reader knows the writer better than he knows himself; but the writer's physical presence is light from a star that has moved on.
I love the way you can fall in love with a piece of literature; how words alone can get your heart doing that.
A writer looking for subjects inquires not after what he loves best, but after what he alone loves at all.
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.
People love pretty much the same things best. A writer looking for subjects inquires not after what he loves best, but after what he alone loves at all.
