Jostein Gaarder Quotes

There Are Many Writing Courses, There's Plenty Of Demand For Them. The Shortage Is Having Something To Write About, And That Can't Be Taught In Schools. There Is No Course In Finding Something To Write About.
Many Beginners Lacked Something As Fundamental As Experience Of Life. It's A Postmodern Misconception That You Can Write First And Live Later. But Many Young People Want To Become Writers Because They Want To Live Like Writers. This Is Putting The Cart Before The Horse. You Must Live First, And Then Decide If You Have Something To Say Afterwards. Life Itself Is A Determining Factor. Writing Is The Fruit Of Life. Life Isn't The Fruit Of Writing.
