Special Acumen Attention

More From Vladimir Nabokov

Every year i tell myself that i’m not going to read any reviews and then i do. we’re all human and when i read something negative it hurts. i think when you write it’s part of the game, you’re going to get some good reviews and some bad reviews and that’s how it goes. i don’t write for the reviews.

Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.

Trump is bringing his business acumen to politics. that's something that politicians don't have: business acumen, many of them. and so they don't recognize it, and they don't understand it.

I never read anything in print about me. it started with not reading reviews and with the greatest respect to my publicist here, i never read interviews. i was there when i gave them. i never read reviews. i was there when i did the jobs - so i'm totally immune. i live in a bubble.

Reread, rewrite, reread, rewrite. if it still doesn't work, throw it away. it's a nice feeling, and you don't want to be cluttered with the corpses of poems and stories which have everything in them except the life they need.

I am never much interested in the effects of what i write....i seldom read with any attention the reviews of my...books. two times out of three i know something about the reviewer, and in very few cases have i any respect for his judgments. thus his praise, if he praises me, leaves me unmoved. i can't recall any review that has even influenced me in the slightest. i live in sort of a vacuum, and i suspect that most other writers do, too. it is hard to imagine one of the great ones paying any serious attention to contemporary opinion.

The last level of metaphor in the alice books is this: that life, viewed rationally and without illusion, appears to be a nonsense tale told by an idiot mathematician.

I have a publishing company of books by me and books of others. it drew people to poetry readings and photo exhibitions and painting exhibitions that i've been doing for years before that.

Words can be like x-rays if you use them properly -- they’ll go through anything. you read and you’re pierced.

Books are the ultimate dumpees: put them down and they’ll wait for you forever; pay attention to them and they always love you back.
