Writing Quotes Quotes

“Literary award judges have the power to select a prize winner, granting them fame and potentially turning their book into a bestseller. However, determining the best book of the year remains a subjective endeavor. It is not surprising, then, that different panels consistently choose different winners from the same pool of submissions.”

“To understand subjectivity in literary awards, think of these competitions as social media platforms and judging panels as their users. A book you submit to a literary award competition is like a post you share on social media—some praise its ideas, others reject them; some find it inspiring, others provoking; tragic to some, laughable to the rest.”

“Give AI the right to perform any task that a human editor normally performs” in the realm of writing. These include drafting, proofreading, rephrasing, suggesting improvements in clarity or tone, identifying inconsistencies, proposing titles, summarizing content, and recommending structural edits. All of these are traditional editorial tasks, and there is no reason AI should be excluded from doing the same.”

“An act of consciousness always adopts a point of view by classifying world happenings into favorable, unfavorable, or neutral categories. The consciousness is an observer, reporter, and responder to world events. Writers are perhaps the most conscious observers; they are constantly examining a continuous sequence of events transpiring in the temporal world and partitioning these occurrences into distinct cerebral units. When we read the works of an author, we ask ourselves what is the author’s pathos. When we tell our personal stories, we also adopt a point of view, and reveal our own melody of mental thoughts that describe the gravitonic center of the psyche.”

“Critical personal writing enables the author to penetrate mental falsities that imprison him or her in fearfulness, bitterness, and jealously and encompass the reverential awe for the transcendental pathos of life, the small moments of happiness interspersed between stints of loneliness, sorrow, and hardship imbued in human life.”

“I feel like a fraud, what do I do? I have lied to millions, I have hurt many. I just divorced number 3, what do I do? I still love number 1, and number 2, but they have moved on, I will still get what I want. My worlds are blending, my online fantasy becoming further from my real truth of life. I wish I could have both, Maybe if I lie more no one will ever know, who I really am. but will I remember? who am I again? Louise short, or Veronika Jensen? my worlds are colliding, fusing together. I now have two, delusional worlds. I will keep up the fraud. No one must know. only my Soul, and number 3 but I dealt with him. no one will believe him, Because I am Veronika Jensen, but...Who are you?” —lulus.secrets.desires” Facebook - lulus.secrets.desires”

“When I was writing, it was necessary for me to read after I had written. If you kept thinking about it, you would lose the thing you were writing before you could go on with it the next day. It was necessary to get exercise, to be tired in the body, and it was very good to make love with whom you loved. That was better than anything. But afterwards, when you were empty, it was necessary to read in order not to think or worry about your work until you could do it again. I had learned already never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it.”

“To excuse one for human assistance yet condemn another for AI assistance is a serious mistake the literary world is making — one that future generations will not forgive. AI will, without doubt, be recognized as a legitimate part of the creative process. And when that time comes, those future generations will look back and measure the damage caused by today’s double standards — the barriers that silenced authentic voices and denied deserving writers recognition and opportunity simply for using technology to express their feelings, share their visions, and communicate their experiences with the world.”

“Those stories- myth, archetype, religious narrative, the great body of literature- are always with us. Always in us. We can draw upon them, tap into them, add to them whenever we want.”

“Dogs asleep in the sun often whined and barked, but they were unable to tell what they saw that made them whine and bark. He had often wondered what it was. And that was all he was, a dog asleep in the sun. He would stand up, with open eyes, and he would struggle and toil and learn until, with eyes unblinded and tongue untied, he could share with her his visioned wealth. Other men had discovered the trick of expression, of making words obedient servitors, and making combinations of words mean more than the sum of their separate meanings. He was stirred profoundly by the passing glimpse at the secret, and he was again caught up in the vision of sunlit spaces and starry voids - until it came to him taht it was very quiet, and he saw Ruth regarding him with an amused expression and a smile in her eyes.”
