Great Writing Quotes
If you can't annoy somebody, there is little point in writing.
-Kingsley Amis
Everywhere I go, I am asked if I think the university stifles writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a bestseller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.
-Flannery O'Connor
Teaching has ruined more American novelists than drink.
-Gore Vidal
Why don't you write books that people can read?
-Nora Joyce to her husband James Joyce, author of Ulysses and Finnegan's Wake, which many readers never finish.
Copy from one, it's plagiarism; copy from two, it's research.
-William Mitzner
Originality is the art of concealing your sources.
-Unknown
Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.
-T. S. Elliot
Good swiping is an art in itself.
-Jules Feiffer
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
-Mark Twain
I write poetry not for publication but merely to kill time. Airplanes are a good place to write poetry and then firmly throw it away. My collected works are mostly on the vomit bags of Pan American and TWA.
-Charles McCabe
When in doubt, have two guys come through the door with guns.
-Raymond ChandlerOn My Nightstand
