Writers

Literary





"Journalism should be more like science. As far as possible, facts should be verifiable." Julian Assange



“Knowledge is a rare thing - you gain by giving it away.” Ivan Sutherland




"Writing is easy. You just sit at the typewriter and bleed.” Ernest Hemingway.







"There is no darkness but ignorance” William Shakespeare’s ‘Twelfth Night'




“Reform can only come about when injustice is exposed” Julian Assange



















“People say that brevity is the soul of wit, but brevity is, in fact, the body of wit. The soul of wit is truth. Nothing is funny unless it’s also true, and we laugh at jokes because we recognize the grains of truth they contain". Quentin Crisp

“It’s now obvious to me why I went into the profession of writing and speaking. Words are my friends. And if you can surround yourself with friends and indeed do something that you love, you will, as the saying goes, never do a day’s work in your life.” Quentin Crisp







































“I hope you get where you're going, and be happy when you do.” Jack Kerouac, (On the Road)




















"I have the same trouble as you in writing - but the answer is: just let it roll -" John Lennon in letter to a correspondent 1967











“that writing may be no trouble to you, write always to me carelessly and without study; I had rather read the dictates of the heart than the brain,” Heloise in a letter to Abelard 1128















































"The pen is mightier than the sword." Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1839






































































































"There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.” Aldous Huxley

















“Practice kindness all day to everybody and you will realize you’re already in heaven now” Jack Kerouac, extract from a poem, 1957






































"A writer’s greatest source is his memory," Michael Morpurgo



























"I am becoming more and more alarmed by the utter meaninglessness of words today, even as the words grow softer and sweeter by the minute. People 'care' a lot, then do nothing with anything but their facile tongues to show that they do. People are 'outraged' or 'concerned,' then sit in the same place and metaphorically cluck over some indignity they will soon forget.
"People are 'thinking' of you and 'praying' for you, but the intention--so beautifully rolled off the tongue--never reaches their feet or legs, and so no action occurs: No help, I am here to tell you, is on the way.
"But they meant well, and they said so. You heard them!" Harold Pinter (interviewed by James Grissom 1997)



















“What I always look for is the spark of human connection in everything” AA Gill































“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!” Jane Austen

































"Writers are painters, that instead of colour pigments use letters and words to paint pictures" Chad Riff Owl





























































“Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested:” Sir Francis Bacon essays (1625)








“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” Søren Kierkegaard



















“There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.” W. Somerset Maugham

























“If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.” Virginia Woolf














"live at home like a traveler.” Thoreau
















“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.” Anais NIn































































































“Cogito, Ergo Sum” ‘I think therefore I am’ Renes Descartes






















































A must read: 978-1839766220








"My idea of a writer: someone interested in everything". Susan Sontag













“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me” C. S. Lewis




















"What is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures" Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'.











"There is no friend as loyal as a book." Ernest Hemingway









































“All war is a symptom of man's failure as a thinking animal.” John Steinbeck
