5 Great Quotations about a Room of One’s Own

“The difference between wanting to write and having written is one year of hard, relentless labour. It’s a bridge you have to build all by yourself, all alone, all through the night, while the world goes about its business without giving a damn. The only way of making this perilous passage is by looking at it as a pilgrimage.” – Shatrujeet Nath

“All writing problems are psychological problems. Blocks usually stem from the fear of being judged. If you imagine the world listening, you’ll never write a line. That’s why privacy is so important. You should write first drafts as if they will never be shown to anyone.” – Erica Jong

“The holiness of solitude is the gift of creativity.” – Lailah Gifty Akita

“To be able to write a novel you have to be willing to fall out of life for 1 year and not let anyone sway you.” – Ksenia Anske

“If you’re writing a novel, you’re in a room for three or four years. There’s not much coming in from the outside.” – Mordecai Richler
