I like the darkness, the shadows, the night. I like being invisible. I like not being seen. I like sitting in the shadows and watching the world go by.

It is that thirst for the unpredictable, the unknowable, the unattainable that makes a writer. We who long for the darkness are the ones who find solace in fantasy. We soak in stories through our eyes and they become part of our souls. We breathe plots and live characters. A writer must become so dependent on the fantasy, the pretend, that the real world pales in comparison. Then and only then can you truly be called a great writer. - fabula-propono

To me, true writers can never say "too beautiful to say" or "too wonderful for words". Writers can take the feeling, whatever it is, and no matter how difficult, can express it in a way that's both at once profound and understandable. To me, writers are listeners. Writers are watchers, and dreamers, and thinkers. For life is a book--and what you listen to becomes the dialogue, what you watch becomes actions, and what you dream becomes reality. And, most importantly, what you think becomes words. Writers can take anything and put a phrase to it; writers are masters of language and behavior. They can twist syllables like a blacksmith can work metal--writers see things in words-- a sunset is not just an image in their minds, it is a despcription-- the fiery reds and the burning oranges; the gradual melt from warm to cool.

No writer can be the same as another since no two lives are the same--your lifestyle reflects on your writing style like a blurry mirror--once you wipe back the fog and look through it, you can see yourself on the other side.

And lastly, a true writer does not let the world pass them by-- they live the life they were meant to. And in that, they find their story. - Icelands

The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices -- to be found in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own -- for the children and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone. - Rod Serling

The capacity of human beings to bore one another seems to be vastly greater than that of any other animal. - H. L. Mencken

Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia - E.L Doctorow
