42 Quotes About Writer

Writing is a craft which requires a lot of discipline, a lot of work, a lot of time. It requires a lot of pain, a lot of tears. But when you have the right attitude, the right inspiration, the right way of looking at things from different angles, from different perspectives and from different points of view, when you have all these things combined, when you have the right inspiration and the right discipline and patience and hard work, when you have all these things combined with the ability to think, that's when it's magic happens. And that's what I want to share with you in this book. - Raghuram Rajan Letters will never be sent to a person who does not wish to receive them.

- James Taylor Do you know what true happiness is? It's getting what you want without fighting for it. - Robert Heinlein I never think of writing as a job. I consider it more like an apprenticeship or training for other areas in life.

The best writers I know don't do anything else but write -- they're absolutely devoted to it for months on end while they're working on their novels or short stories or plays or poems or screenplays or whatever else they're writing at any given moment in time. To me that just seems like another way of saying that writing is important enough that I need to make it my top priority in life -- that I need to do everything I can possibly do to make sure that I don't let anything else get in the way of making my writing happen every single day. - Neil Gaiman There are people who would rather be unhappy than be inactive.

- Aristotle

We are told that in translation there is no such thing as equivalence. Many times the translator reaches a fork in the translating road where they must make a choice in the interpretation of a word. And each time they make one of these choices, they are taken further from the truth. But what we aren’t told is that this isn’t a shortcoming of translation; it’s a shortcoming of language itself. As soon as we try to put reality into words, we limit it. Words are not reality, they are the cause of reality, and thus reality is always more. Writers aren't alchemists who transmute words into the aurous essence of the human experience. No, they are glassmakers. They create a work of art that enables us to see inside to help us understand. And if they are really good, we can see our own reflections staring back at us. . Kamand Kojouri

Magic : when you create something from the materials around you to astound and make the audience say "Wow." Magic happens on mundane days. It happens when you least expect it. It brings a spark to our drab and monotonous days. Avijeet Das
26
I have found that a writer is formed not so much by their experiences but by the way in which they view and capture those experiences. Like vivid, rainbow metallic skin cells on the wings of a fragile butterfly, it is how you touch and reveal those inner parts of yourself, without damaging the psyche, that determines whether the beauty is experienced and expressed and shared with others or, in fact, becomes the death of the self and Soul and psyche. I hope that I capture something in my work that is about the elusive, the magical and powerful and the transformative. The writing in itself is transformative for me. . Sophia Rose
