Pen Quotes

If I could write directly on a typewriter or a computer, I would do it. But keyboards have always intimidated me. I’ve never been able to think clearly with my fingers in that position. A pen is a much more primitive instrument. You feel that the words are coming out of your body and then you dig the words into the page Picture Quote #1

Let your heart dance with pen and paperNow fill the paper with dancing letters Picture Quote #1

I was born deaf. I was raised in a hearing world and in a deaf world at the same time. I can’t say that I like one better than I like the other. I like them both. I speak pretty well; I gesture. If I don’t understand something, you know, pen and paper, texting. I use it all Picture Quote #1

A just thinker will allow full swing to his scepticism. I dip my pen in the blackest ink, because I am not afraid of falling into my inkpot.... We are of different opinions at different hours, but we always may be said to be at heart on the side of truth Picture Quote #1

The man in the coon skin cap in the pig pen wants eleven dollar bills, you’ve only got ten Picture Quote #1

For the last 15 years that I have been performing, all I ever wanted to do was transcend poetry to the world. See, it wasn’t enough for me to write a book. It wasn’t enough for me to join a slam competition, and while those things hold weight, it wasn’t the driving force that pushes the pen to the pad Picture Quote #1

Novels by British writers are among my favorites because our family has enjoyed travel in England and because they are written with an economy of words as if they were written with a pen instead of a computer. Penelope Fitzgerald is a favorite Picture Quote #1

When I put my pen to a blank sheet, black isn’t added but rather the white sheet is deprived of light. [] Thus I also grasped that the empty spaces are the most important aspect of a typeface Picture Quote #1

I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone - and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward Picture Quote #1

All the birds love Touche Eclat. It’s a (concealer) pen that gets rid of eye bags. But I’m quite happy otherwise. I train a lot Picture Quote #1

Under Obama, our federal tax dollars can now be used to fund abortion all over the world. With the stroke of a pen, abortion essentially became a U.S. foreign export Picture Quote #1

People make me key chains... someone attached a Dauntless symbol to a silver pen. That one is what I use to sign books. I use that a lot. I like to keep them around because they remind me that people are waiting for these books and that they really love them. It gives me motivation in those times when I’m not feeling very motivated Picture Quote #1

I like to figure out what the production opportunities are for the things I’m interested in before I put pen to paper Picture Quote #1

I made an awful mess of my first marriage. It was hard to live with me being me. I was so abnormal. I mean, most writers struggle. I hadn’t struggled. I couldn’t suddenly go down to the PEN Club and behave like a normal human being, because most of those guys were struggling to make a couple of thousand pounds a year Picture Quote #1

I’ve always written by hand. Mostly with a fountain pen, but sometimes with a pencil - especially for corrections Picture Quote #1

I don’t want anything to do with anything mechanical between me and the paper, including a typewriter, and I don’t even want a fountain pen between me and the paper Picture Quote #1

There’s something special about writing by hand, writing with a fountain pen, and there’s something special about writing into a book, to take a blank book and turn it into an actual book Picture Quote #1

There was one ‘crime’ during the whole time I was at school, when a fountain pen went missing. Stealing just didn’t happen. I was taught not to shoplift, not to steal, not to behave badly. We weren’t even allowed to drop litter Picture Quote #1

I used to write exclusively with one particular Montblanc fountain pen, although lately I have had to use a roller-tip fountain pen, because I find it harder and harder to control the fine muscles of my right hand during prolonged periods of work. I buy boxes of Deluxe Uni-ball pens, use them until they start to drag, and then change Picture Quote #1

I write with a fountain pen. And then revise word by word and line by line so that the first draft of a scene is usually the tenth or so draft Picture Quote #1

I am a highly disciplined person. I get up at seven every morning and, still in my pajamas, sit down at my desk where my checkered ring binders and my fountain pen are ready for use. I try to write two pages every day Picture Quote #1

Freedom begins the moment you realize someone else has been writing your story and it’s time you took the pen from his hand and started writing it yourself Picture Quote #1

And the only sign of life is the ticking of the pen, introducing characters to memory like old friends Picture Quote #1

Torturous advances won over generations can be lost by a single stroke of a myopic president’s pen or a vainglorious general’s sword Picture Quote #1

I usually don’t mind giving autographs, but when hundreds of folks with paper and pen start coming at you, it’s time to seek shelter Picture Quote #1

I returned to Jerusalem, and it is by virtue of Jerusalem that I have written all that God has put into my heart and into my pen Picture Quote #1

Go to any Shinto temple in Japan and you’ll see it: a simple stand from which hang hundreds of wooden postcard-size plaques with a colorful image on one side and, on the other, densely scribbled Japanese characters in black felt-tip pen, pleas to the gods for help or succor Picture Quote #1

I am a witness to nations and people deprived of their freedom. I was there. I watched that great Iron Curtain drop around nations which formerly had prized their freedom - good people. I was aghast as these were written off by the stroke of a pen Picture Quote #1

I’m a good scholar when it comes to reading but a blotting kind of writer when you give me a pen Picture Quote #1
