Beware of clichés. Not just the clichés that Martin Amis is at war with. There are clichés of response as well as expression. There are clichés of observation and of thought - even of conception. Many novels, even quite a few adequately written ones, are clichés of form which conform to clichés of expectation.

Geoff Dyer

To idealize: all writing is a campaign against cliché. Not just clichés of the pen but clichés of the mind and clichés of the heart.

Martin Amis

Two cliches make us laugh. A hundred cliches move us. For we sense dimly that the cliches are talking among themselves, and celebrating a reunion.

Umberto Eco

That's the shock: All cliches are true. The years really do speed by. Life really is as short as they tell you it is. And there really is a God - so do I buy that one? If all the other cliches are true... Hell, don't pose me that one.

David Bowie

Cliches are cliches because they are true.

Harsha Bhogle

Clichés are what good writing is all about. Because our lives are basically clichés.

Sylvester Stallone

I'm not a guy who likes cliches. I don't think that stereotypes and cliches are the end of the line, when it comes to a performance.

Chris Bauer

There are no worse cliches than southern cliches. They make my skin crawl.

Mary Steenburgen

The reason that clichés become clichés is that they are the hammers and screwdrivers in the toolbox of communication.

Terry Pratchett

When told a script was full of old cliches: Let's have some new cliches.

Samuel Goldwyn

I'm sick of the old cliches. Bring me some new cliches.

Samuel Goldwyn, Jr.

When you're a writer, you want to try to avoid cliches. Unfortunately, when you're writing about marriage or family, all cliches seem to apply.

Dan Savage

Clichés can be quite fun. That's how they got to be clichés.

Alan Bennett

Morals always sound like cliches, but usually cliches are based on things that are ultimate truths. Be grateful for what you have; appreciate what's right there in front of you.

Henry Selick

We follow a certain pattern, a maze, if you will, every day, tracing our steps into certain districts and neighborhoods and back home. So it's easy for people to relate to clichés. That's why comedy routines are based on mutual experiences of clichés.

Sylvester Stallone

It is a cliche that most cliches are true, but then like most cliches, that cliche is untrue.

Stephen Fry
