Quotes on Best Seller

  • A best seller is the gilded tomb of a mediocre talent.~ Logan Pearsall Smith
  • I am always interested in why young people become writers, and from talking with many I have concluded that most do not want to be writers working eight and ten hours a day and accomplishing little; they want to have been writers, garnering the rewards of having completed a best-seller. They aspire to the rewards of writing but not to the travail.~ James A. Michener
  • I don't think these books will stay on the best-seller list forever, but I think this puzzle is here to stay like the crossword.~ Will Shortz
  • I don't think the English like me. I sold a colossal best seller in America, and they never really forgave me.~ John Fowles
  • No one can write a best seller by trying to. He must write with complete sincerity; the clichés that make you laugh, the hackneyed characters, the well-worn situations, the commonplace story that excites your derision, seem neither hackneyed, well worn nor commonplace to him. The conclusion is obvious: you cannot write anything that will convince unless you are yourself convinced. The best seller sells because he writes with his heart's blood.~ W. Somerset Maugham
  • Only a person with a Best Seller mind can write Best Sellers.~ Aldous Huxley
  • This is a major league best seller.~ Ethan Friedman
  • This is my 25th book over 28 years, and to still be able to write a book and be a best seller again is remarkable. I'm impressed, myself, and very grateful.~ Terry Brooks
  • We can't keep chasing only best sellers. We all recognize we all have to do different things today.~ Jane Friedman
