Outline Quotes

It is already a great thing if the main ideas and general outline of a work come without any racking of brains, as the result of that supernatural and inexplicable force we call inspiration Picture Quote #1

In the case of various kinds of knowledge, we find that what in former days occupied the energies of men of mature mental ability sinks to the level of information, exercises, and even pastimes for children; and in this educational progress we can see the history of the world’s culture delineated in faint outline Picture Quote #1

I am fooling only myself when I say that my mother exists now only in the photographs on my bulletin board or in the outline of my hand or in the armful of memories I still hold tight. She lives on beneath everything I do. Her presence influenced who I was and her absence influences who I am. Our lives are shaped as much by those who leave us as they are by those who stay. Loss is our legacy. Insight is our gift. Memory is our guide Picture Quote #1

An outline is crucial. It saves so much time. When you write suspense, you have to know where you’re going because you have to drop little hints along the way. With the outline, I always know where the story is going. So before I ever write, I prepare an outline of 40 or 50 pages Picture Quote #1

To all that he touched he gave a new meaning, a new color, a new outline, a new loveliness, and a new poignancy Picture Quote #1

If ever I were to have a symbol attributed to me, it would be a heart, the outline! Picture Quote #1

I cannot outline. I do not know what the next thing is going to happen in the book until it comes out of my fingers Picture Quote #1

I envy those writers who outline their novels, who know where they’re going. But I find writing is a process of discovery Picture Quote #1

I never know what’s going to happen in a novel. I don’t have a plan or an outline Picture Quote #1

I am a writer who works from an outline. What I generally do when I build an outline is I find focal, important scenes, and I build them in my head and I don’t write them yet, but I build towards them Picture Quote #1

I plot as I go. Many novelists write an outline that has almost as many pages as their ultimate book. Others knock out a brief synopsis... Do what is comfortable. If you have to plot out every move your characters make, so be it. Just make sure there is a plausible purpose behind their machinations. A good reader can smell a phony plot a block away Picture Quote #1

Well, I outline fanatically. I am a long thinker and a slow writer, though I am trying to get faster Picture Quote #1

Colouring does not depend on where the colours are put, but on where the lights and darks are put, and all depends on form and outline, on where that is put Picture Quote #1

I shall praise those faces which seem to project out of the picture as though they were sculptured, and I shall censure those faces in which I see no art but that of outline Picture Quote #1

I enjoy writing scripts. I can find out what happens. With an outline, I feel like I’m doing an architectural diagram of something Picture Quote #1

My technique, starting with a quick outline in pencil, is designed to record first impressions, with no time for second thoughts Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I’m anything like the improviser. I’m not. I do better with at least an outline Picture Quote #1

I never work from an outline, and often I don’t know how the story will end Picture Quote #1

I don’t make outlines or plans because whenever I do, they turn out to be useless. It is as if I am compelled to violate the scope of any outline or plan; it is as if the writing does not want me to know what is about to happen Picture Quote #1

The more work you put in on your outline and getting the skeleton of your story right, the easier the process is later Picture Quote #1

If one really thinks about the body as such, there is no possible outline of the body as such Picture Quote #1

I start with a beat sheet, which is more of an abbreviated outline. It hits all the major plot points. From there, I move to note cards. But the most important part of my process is my inspiration board Picture Quote #1

Animals outline their territories with their excretions, humans outline their territories by ink excretions on paper Picture Quote #1

For me it’s more important that I outline all the facets of a controversial issue and let the reader make up his or her mind. I don’t care if readers change their minds, but I would like readers to ask themselves why their opinion is what it is Picture Quote #1

The values by which we are to survive are not rules for just and unjust conduct, but are those deeper illuminations in whose light justice and injustice, good and evil, means and ends are seen in fearful sharpness of outline Picture Quote #1

The beginning of an acquaintance whether with persons or things is to get a definite outline of our ignorance Picture Quote #1

In painting, the most brilliant colors, spread at random and without design, will give far less pleasure than the simplest outline of a figure Picture Quote #1

Color, which is the poet’s wealth, is so expensive that most take to mere outline sketches and become men of science Picture Quote #1

After we made love he took a piece of chalk and made an outline of my body Picture Quote #1

I don’t write shows with dialogue where actors have to memorize dialogue. I write the scenes where we know everything that’s going to happen. There’s an outline of about seven or eight pages, and then we improvise it Picture Quote #1
