Great Writing Quotes by Author Gloria Naylor

One should be able to return to the first sentence of a novel and find the resonances of the entire work.

A myth is more powerful — and more lasting — than reality.

There is a problem in America. An Irish or Polish American can write a story and it's an American story. When a Black American writes a story, it's called a Black story. I take exception to that. Every artist has articulated to his own experience. The problem is that some people do not see Blacks as Americans.

Great Writing Quotes by Author Milan Kundera

The novelist’s ambition is not to do something better than his predecessors but to see what they did not see, say what they did not say.

Graphomania (a mania for writing books) inevitably takes on epidemic proportions when a society develops to the point of creating three basic conditions: - (1) an elevated level of general well-being which allows people to devote themselves to useless activities (2) a high degree of social atomization and , as a consequence, a general isolation of individuals; (3) the absence of dramatic social changes in the nation's internal life.

The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long that nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was... The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.

Great Writing Quotes by Author Natalie Goldberg

Writers live twice.
