“What I like in a good author is not what he says, but what he whispers.”
Logan Pearsall Smith“There is bad in all good authors: what a pity the converse isn't true!”
Philip Larkin, Philip Larkin: Letters to Monica“A good author is he who isn’t afraid to speak his mind; he who dictates the art of the verse. A scribbler who merely keeps quiet and enjoys being lauded is nothing but a reader with nothing of importance to do. He whose written word trickles from his wounds into the world and onto paper is not afraid to both praise and criticize, this is what he strives towards.”
Leila Samarrai“What I like in a good author is not what he says but what he whispers.”
Logan Pearsall Smith“What I like in a good author is not what he says but what he whispers.”
Logan Pearsall Smith“An attentive reader will always learn more, and more quickly, from good authors than from life.”
Hervé Le Tellier, Enough About Love“I try to avoid having thoughts. They lead to other thoughts, and—if you’re not careful—those lead to actions. Actions make you tired. I have this on rather good authority from someone who once read it in a book.”
Brandon Sanderson“The Tao Te Ching is partly in prose, partly in verse; but as we define poetry now, not by rhyme and meter but as a patterned intensity of language, the whole thing is poetry. I wanted to catch that poetry, its terse, strange beauty. Most translations have caught meanings in their net, but prosily, letting the beauty slip through. And in poetry, beauty is no ornament; it is the meaning. It is the truth. We have that on good authority.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching: A Book about the Way and the Power of the Way“God has spoken to me, without words, to my heart. He has told me that I am to rewrite the future and remind His people's faith and to help keep that faith alive attached with the Holy Bible to Him. God gave me the name Compton Gage. My earthly name is not important. My person is not part of the reminder. This is not an ordinary book, this is not a Bible. The materials of the Third Testament, was organized and re-written by me. I was given a good authority by God. BY GOD ONLY!”
