Scrap Quotes

Retirement may be looked upon either as a prolonged holiday or as a rejection, a being thrown on to the scrap heap Picture Quote #1

The great advantage of being a writer is that you can spy on people. You're there, listening to every word, but part of you is observing. Everything is useful to a writer, you see - every scrap, even the longest and most boring of luncheon parties Picture Quote #1

My dad had this rock hard body and would work 12 to 13 hour days. The guys he worked with were scrap iron guys. Nobody on that road crew had read a book in 10 years, but there was something about the way they lived I really admired Picture Quote #1

If you’re cooking and not making mistakes, you’re not playing outside your safety zone. I don’t expect it all to be good. I have fat dogs because I scrap that stuff out the back door Picture Quote #1

Even more important maybe, or equally more important at least, is they don’t have to scrap for a living Picture Quote #1

At some glad moment was it nature’s choice to dower a scrap of sunset with a voice? Picture Quote #1

The usefulness of madmen is famous: they demonstrate society’s logic flagrantly carried out down to its last scrimshaw scrap Picture Quote #1

For myself, the only way I know how to make a book is to construct it like a collage: a bit of dialogue here, a scrap of narrative, an isolated description of a common object, an elaborate running metaphor which threads between the sequences and holds different narrative lines together Picture Quote #1

The artist is a collector of things imaginary or real. He accumulates things with the same enthusiasm that a little boy stuffs his pockets. The scrap heap and the museum are embraced with equal curiosity. He takes snapshots, makes notes and records impressions on tablecloths or newspapers, on backs of envelopes or matchbooks. Why one thing and not another is part of the mystery, but he is omnivorous Picture Quote #1

All this saving a child does! At one point I even saved the box scores of an entire baseball season, both leagues, since Philadelphia played, haplessly, in both. How precious each scrap of the world appears, in our first years' experience of it! Slowly we realize that it is all disposable, including ourselves Picture Quote #1

What happened was simple, even banal: I became naked, died, lost parts of my flesh and most of my ego along with a few illusions such as a belief in the uniqueness of my personal scrap of consciousness and the cosmic importance therof, and went on from there Picture Quote #1

All the people ought to decide, but now most states are tossed on the scrap heap and ignored Picture Quote #1

I believed that if I was to call myself a writer, I should live on writing. If I could not live on it, even simply, I should destroy every scrap, every trace, every notebook and live some other way Picture Quote #1

You need to take risks, you never know if the end results will be beautiful or strange, you need to be instantaneous, listening to every moments, without missing a scrap of the music, even if you play a rest! Picture Quote #1

If by losing the spirit of prayer, you mean losing the heavenly sensations of deep devotion, I am afraid that does not matter a scrap Picture Quote #1

Sometimes it is really hard to sit in the single and go for a row. I think this is really normal. I, like probably a lot of people, burn out every once in a while. What I have learned from my own experience is that there are two reasons for it to happen. It is that I am either physically tired or mentally tired. If either of these are the case, the wisest decision is to blow off practice. Blowing off practice is healthy. I didn’t understand that until I was so burnt out that I wanted to make scrap material out of my single and my oars Picture Quote #1

If you could really guarantee that the money would be spent on something more worthwhile, I’d say, absolutely, scrap the space program, but it never works that way Picture Quote #1

When an artist explains what he is doing, he usually has to do one of two things: either scrap what he has explained, or make his work fit in with the explanation Picture Quote #1

American humor... is not subtle. It is something that makes you laugh the moment you hear it, you have not to think a scrap Picture Quote #1

Science has salvaged scrap metal and even found vitamins and valuable oils in refuse, but old people are extravagantly wasted Picture Quote #1

My grandmother would croon over every scrap of meat on a sparerib like a medieval relic hunter musing on the knucklebone of a saint Picture Quote #1

I know it’s sappy, but I bet there’s a market for civility and niceness out there that, while probably not as titillating as a junkyard scrap between shirtless adversaries, it’d sure be healthier Picture Quote #1

There is in every artist’s studio a scrap heap of discarded works in which the artist’s discipline prevailed against his imagination Picture Quote #1
