Writing is the painting of the voice.
The secret of being a bore is to tell everything.
The adjective is the enemy of the noun. Variant: The adjective is the enemy of the substantive.
… I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write.
You can never correct your work well until you have forgotten it.
Anything too stupid to be said is sung.
The multiplicity of facts and writings is become so great that everything must soon be reduced to extracts and dictionaries.
The only reward to be expected from literature is contempt if one fails and hatred if one succeeds.
To hold a pen is to be at war.
