Orhan Pamuk Quotes About Writing

• Un escritor es alguien que pasa años tratando pacientemente de descubrir el segundo ser que lleva dentro, y el mundo que le hace ser quien es: cuando hablo de escribir, lo primero que me viene a la mente no es una novela, un poema o una tradición literaria, es una persona que se encierra en una habitación, se sienta a una mesa y, a solas, se vuelve hacia dentro; entre sus sombras, construye un mundo nuevo con palabras.

• I think a lot about the poems I wasn't able to write...I masturbrated...Solitude is essentially a matter of pride; you bury yourself in your own scent. The issue is the same for all real poets. If you've been happy for too long, you become banal. By the same token, if you've been unhappy for a long time, you lose your poetic power...Happiness and poverty can only coexist for the briefest time. Afterword either happiness coarsens the poet or the poem is so true it destroys his happiness.

• Nothing changed in my life since I work all the time," Pamuk said then. "I've spent 30 years writing fiction. For the first 10 years I worried about money and no one asked me how much money I made.

• I'm a relatively disciplined writer who composes the whole book before beginning to execute and write it. Of course, you can't hold - you cannot imagine a whole novel before you write it; there are limits to human memory and imagination.
