An autobiography that leaves out little things and enumerates only the big ones is no proper picture of the man’s life at all; his life consists of his feelings and his interests, with here and there an incident apparently big or little to hang the feelings on.
~~~~~~~
An incurable itch for scribbling takes possession of many, and grows inveterate in their insane breasts.
~~~~~~~
An original writer is not one who imitates nobody, but one whom nobody can imitate.
~~~~~~~
Any word you have to hunt for in a thesaurus is the wrong word. There are no exceptions to this rule.
~~~~~~~
Any writer, I suppose, feels that the world into which he was born is nothing less than a conspiracy against the cultivation of his talent.
~~~~~~~
As a man has no right to kill one of his children if it is diseased or insane, so a man who has made the gradual and conscious expression of his personality in literature the aim of his life, has no right to suppress himself any carefully considered work which seemed good enough when it was written. Suppression, if it is deserved, will come rapidly enough from the same causes that suppress the unworthy members of a man’s family.
~~~~~~~
As I take up my pen I feel myself so full, so equal to my subject, and see my book so clearly before me in embryo, I would almost like to try to say it all in a single word.
~~~~~~~
As to the adjective, when in doubt, strike it out.
~~~~~~~
At its best, the sensation of writing is that of any unmerited grace. It is handed to you, but only if you look for it. You search, you break your heart, your back, your brain, and then–and only then–it is handed to you.

~~~~~~~
Authorship is exhibitionism, and readers a species of voyeur.
~~~~~~~
Be generous, be delicate, and always pursue the prize.
~~~~~~~
Be obscure clearly.
~~~~~~~
Being an author is having angels whisper in your ear – and devils, too.
~~~~~~~
Books want to be born: I never make them. They come to me and insist on being written, and on being such and such.
~~~~~~~
But this I know; the writer who possesses the creative gift owns something of which he is not always master — something that at times strangely wills and works for itself. If the result be attractive, the World will praise you, who little deserve praise; if it be repulsive, the same World will blame you, who almost as little deserve blame.
~~~~~~~
Could we with ink the ocean fill, And were the skies of parchment made, Were every stalk on earth a quill, And every man a scribe by trade, To write the love of God above, Would drain the oceans dry. Nor could the scroll contain the whole, Though stretched from sky to sky.
~~~~~~~
Despite the fact that I had a writing background, they didn’t want to accept whatever ideas I had as a writer.
~~~~~~~
Despots play their part in the works of thinkers. Fettered words are terrible words. The writer doubles and trebles the power of his writing when a ruler imposes silence on the people.
