I write out of my intellectual experience. ↗

I write plays because writing dialogue is the only respectable way of contradicting yourself. I put a position, rebut it, refute the rebuttal, and rebut the refutation. ↗

I write longer sentences than most of the others, maybe because I probably like Henry James more than they do. ↗

It is not necessary to argue to those for whom I write that the two great needs of mankind, that all men may be lifted up into the light of the highest Christian civilization, are, first, a pure, spiritual Christianity, and second, civil liberty. ↗

I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it in order to feel sane. ↗

— Taylor Swift

Most of the time, songs that I write end up being finished in 30 minutes or less. ↗

— Taylor Swift

I feel the emotion that life conjures up and the songs I write get me closer to my feelings and realising who I am. It's a natural process. ↗

I write and rewrite and rewrite and write and like to turn in what I think is finished work. ↗

— Gay Talese

I write about all the horrible things that can happen to kids as a way of keeping those things from happening to mine. Write the books, spit three times over your shoulder and you're safe. ↗
