Adjective Quotes

Whatever the thing you wish to say, there is but one word to express it, but one verb to give it movement, but one adjective to qualify it; you must seek until you find this noun, this verb, this adjective Picture Quote #1

Whatever you want to say, there is only one word to express it, only one verb to give it movement, only one adjective to qualify it Picture Quote #1

Nice writing isn’t enough. It isn’t enough to have smooth and pretty language. You have to surprise the reader frequently, you can’t just be nice all the time. Provoke the reader. Astonish the reader. Writing that has no surprises is as bland as oatmeal. Surprise the reader with the unexpected verb or adjective. Use one startling adjective per page Picture Quote #1

Genius, throughout history, has been found difficult to classify because it varies in amount: It’s rare to find a genius in the context of the noun, but most people, if not all, have a bit of genius in them in the context of the adjective Picture Quote #1

Anything being perceived as being superior takes the noun. And everything that isn’t, that’s judged to be inferior, requires an adjective. So there are black novelists and novelists. There are women physicians and physicians. Male nurses and nurses Picture Quote #1

That’s the great thing about being in the third grade. If you’ve got one polysyllabic adjective, everyone thinks you’re a genius Picture Quote #1

Language rarely lies. It can reveal the insincerity of a writer’s claims simply through a grating adjective or an inflated phrase. We come upon a frenzy of words and suspect it hides a paucity of feeling Picture Quote #1

Many ideas have been transformed by adding one crucial adjective - womens bank, womens music, womens studies, women's caucus. That adjective did more than change a phrase. It implied a lot of new content: child care, flexible work hours, new standards of creditworthiness, new symbolism, new lyrics Picture Quote #1

You make it a production. Slam doors. Knock things over. Scream. But I just leave. Even if I’m still standing there, I leave. I am refusing you. I am denying you. I am an adjective that is quickly turning into a noun Picture Quote #1
