Quote Library – Writers

We’re past the age of heroes and hero kings. … Most of our lives are basically mundane and dull, and it’s up to the writer to find ways to make them interesting.John Updike
Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head. Shakespeare has perhaps 20 players. … I have 10 or so, and that’s a lot. As you get older, you become more skillful at casting them.Gore Vidal
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.Orson Welles
War of the Worlds
I spent all morning putting in a comma and all afternoon taking it out.Oscar Wilde
(Gustav Flaubert)
Literature is strewn with the wreckage of men who have minded beyond reason the opinions of others.Virginia Woolf
