Writing books
is the closest men ever come to childbearing.
-- Norman Mailer
1923-, American Author
The
ambivalence of writing is such that it can be considered
both an act and an interpretive process that follows after
an act with which it cannot coincide. As such, it both
affirms and denies its own nature.
-- Paul De Man
1919-1983, Belgian-born
American Literary Critic
The writer's
language is to some degree the product of his own action; he
is both the historian and the agent of his own language.
-- Paul De Man
1919-1983, Belgian-born
American Literary Critic
Ultimately,
literature is nothing but carpentry. With both you are
working with reality, a material just as hard as wood.
-- Gabriel Garcia Marquez
1928-, Colombian Writer
