The fact is that if the writer's attention is on producing a work of art, a work that is good in itself, he is going to take great pains to control every excess, everything that does not contribute to this central meaning and design. He cannot indulge in sentimentality, in propagandizing, or in pornography and create a work of art, for all these things are excesses. They call attention to themselves and distract from the work as a whole.

Write it as you see in your own perspective, you may be right or wrong but then what, that's how you see it

Today almost everybody is a writer, the enormous publish button on blogs and websites begs you everywhere to click on it! And bam you are a writer. To hell with agents and publishing houses and rejection letters. Immortality for you is on the click of a mouth! We are advancing at the speed of light! You can become an author at 140 characters. To hell with long winding sentences and long hours of scratching the head, the immortals of today instantly get a "like" and they instantly enter the pantheon! They seat side by side Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, St Paul, Buddha, Martin Luther, Rousseau, Bangambiki_

A writer reports on the universe. When he presents his credentials, the gates of heaven and hell are equally opened to him. He can hear the devil__ defense and god__ accusations. The guards at the king__ heart let him in. The writer can be anything and any one he wants. When he writes he is a god, he creates.

How do you feel when you read stuff written by dead authors? A visit by a ghost?

Every book is worth reading. If it cannot make you wiser it will make you a critic

People speak even after their death. Only do speak those who have recorded their speech in writing before they die, the rest go silent forever

Writing is self-pleasure

I am what I have ever read

You cannot write if you are not on fire

Sometimes I have a good idea, something I wish I could remember, and instead of writing it down, commit it to my memory only to disappear when I needed it. Write your ideas as they come, if you wait it will be too long and you may not recover it. It may get destroyed as it is to seed to and fro in the ever rushing river of our thoughts

The power of the writer is to capture the thoughts live and present them as they appeared in his mind

Writing is sharing. You share what you have. Great writers have more to share

The world would have been a better place if some men had just shut their mouths.

If you are afraid of the critics you will never write a word

You cannot write if you are not angry

Words disappear in the air, but writing remains. If you want something to be remembered about you, write it down

You can edit what you write. Why not edit what you say? If it hurts somebody, you can still offer an apology or withdraw your statements
