“No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.”

“No surprise for the writer, no surprise for the reader.”

“The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader. I know people who read without hearing the sentence sounds and they were the fastest readers. Eye readers we call them. They get the meaning by glances. But they are bad readers because they miss the best part of what a good writer puts into his work.”

“No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.”

“No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader”

“I am a writer of books in retrospect. I talk in order to understand; I teach in order to learn”

“As many authors have said, if the writer is not surprised by events, then chances are that the reader will not be either, and grow bored.”
