When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.
As a writer, you should not judge, you should understand
My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way.
All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.
After writing a story I was always empty and both sad and happy, as though I had made love.
Write hard and clear about what hurts.
All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.
When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature.
If a writer stops observing he is finished. Experience is communicated by small details intimately observed.
Remember to get the weather in your damn book-weather is very important.
When you start to live outside yourself, it's all dangerous.
Courage is grace under pressure.
Never confuse movement with action.
Live the full life of the mind, exhilarated by new ideas, intoxicated by the Romance of the unusual.
All things truly wicked start from innocence.
― Ernest Hemingway
