Junge Schriftsteller / Young Writers Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Junge Schriftsteller / Young Writers:

There's a disease that young writers are susceptible to, which is, I will do this because I can - hubris, I suppose - without stopping to work out why. David Mitchell

I think young writers should get other degrees first, social sciences, arts degrees or even business degrees. What you learn is research skills, a necessity because a lot of writing is about trying to find information.

Irvine Welsh

I have an ambition to write a great book, but that's really a competition with myself. I've noticed that a lot of young writers, people in all media, want to be famous but they don't really want to do anything. I can't think of anything less worth striving for than fame.

Zadie Smith

Success breeds volume, and it's just amazing how many young writers, artists, and musicians there are in town.

Steven Curtis Chapman

The trouble with young writers is that they are all in their sixties.

W. Somerset Maugham

A good many young writers make the mistake of enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope, big enough for the manuscript to come back in. This is too much of a temptation to the editor.

Ring Lardner

Normally, young writers have all the time in the world and they don't always use it well.

Zadie Smith

Artists don't talk about art. Artists talk about work. If I have anything to say to young writers, it's stop thinking of writing as art. Think of it as work.

Paddy Chayefsky

Young writers only take off when they find their subjects. Since almost everyone has a family and stories about family, that is often a place to start.

Robert Morgan

What I tell young writers is to find those things that you're so passionate about that your energy doesn't run away.

Anthony Doerr

When young writers approach me for advice, I remind them, as gently as I can, that they are on their own, with no help available anywhere. Which is how it should be.

John Banville

I often think I can see it in myself and in other young writers, this desperate desire to please coupled with a kind of hostility to the reader.

David Foster Wallace

I always talk to young writers about when you make art in your room, you make art. And when you send it to New York and L.A., you have to be a professional. Of course, when you sell your book rights as an option for a movie, you have to be a professional about that.

Matthew Quick

I've never seen a worse situation than that of young writers in the United States. The publishing business in North America is so commercialized.

Manuel Puig

There are two MFA programs here at the University of Texas, and I read on the jury of both of them. And it's amazing to me how many really talented young writers seem to fear humor.

Elizabeth McCracken

They say great themes make great novels. but what these young writers don't understand is that there is no greater theme than men and women.

John O'Hara

I still feel the impulse to give young writers a hearing, and I believe I have played more unpublished compositions than any other band leader in the country.

John Philip Sousa

Young writers often mistakenly choose a certain vein or style based on who they want to be, unconsciously trying to blot out who they actually are. You want to escape yourself.

Mary Karr

We depend on the critics to give us a glimpse of what happened. Bernard Shaw championed Ibsen, who got the most terrible notices for his plays. Kenneth Tynan championed young writers, and as a result, the theatre has changed radically.

Diana Rigg

I think it must be very hard to be one of the new young writers who are urged to put themselves forward when it may be the last thing on earth they'd be good at.

Anne Tyler

If I had to give young writers advice, I would say don't listen to writers talking about writing or themselves.

Lillian Hellman

It's a bit of a crapshoot out there with young writers right now anyway.

George Murray

There's a disease that young writers are susceptible to, which is, I will do this because I can - hubris, I suppose - without stopping to work out why.

David Mitchell

I don't think poetry is something that can be taught. We can encourage young writers, but what you can't teach them is the very essence of poetry.

Robert Morgan

When I talk to students or young writers about the importance of being unafraid to take controversial positions, I'm struck by the degree to which they can't entertain a thought, much less commit one to paper, without imagining the cacophony of snark they'll get in response.

Meghan Daum

Young writers should definitely research the current sounds and styles.

Lamont Dozier

They're fancy talkers about themselves, writers. If I had to give young writers advice, I would say don't listen to writers talking about writing or themselves.

Lillian Hellman

Young writers find their first audience in little magazines, and experimental writers find their only audience there.

Robert Morgan

'Skins' had been a brilliant breeding ground for young actors, young directors and young writers. It was a safe environment to experiment; it tried new things, and it was an amazing time and amazing to be part of it.

Joe Dempsie

I think a lot of writing, or a lot of young writers, especially, hold themselves back unnecessarily because they're so upset about the idea that they might be sentimental or so concerned about being criticized that way or even being that way that they just shy away from any strong expression or emotion.

Mary Gaitskill

There are a lot of people of my generation in New Zealand literature, young writers on their first or second books, that I'm just really excited about. There seems to be a big gap between the generation above and us; it seems to be quite radically different in terms of form and approach.

Eleanor Catton

I can't wait for the rest of my career to meet these young writers and filmmakers so that I can produce and push a lot of their stories out there.

Lil Rel Howery

When I create a TV show, it's so that I can write it. I'm not an empire builder; my writing staff is usually a combination of two kinds of people - experts in the world the show is set in, and young writers who will not be unhappy if they're not writing scripts.

Aaron Sorkin
