writer

Writers are always selling somebody out. Joan Didion

My idea of a writer: someone interested in everything.

A writer, I think, is someone who pays attention to the world.

As a writer, you should not judge, you should understand.

The first thing that distinguishes a writer is that he is most alive when alone.

The successful writer listens to himself. Frank Herbert
