Sentence Quotes

I’ve been accused of not really paying attention to a sentence unless my name comes up in it twice Picture Quote #1

I think a sentence is a fine thing to put a preposition at the end of Picture Quote #1

In early youth, as we contemplate our coming life, we are like children in a theatre before the curtain is raised, sitting there in high spirits and eagerly waiting for the play to begin. It is a blessing that we do not know what is really going to happen. Could we foresee it, there are times when children might seem like innocent prisoners, condemned, not to death, but to life, and as yet all unconscious of what their sentence means Picture Quote #1

Every sentence has its drumbeat. rhythm is one of the most powerful dimensions of language: it separates tribes, united families, soothes children, and shocks us into new awarenesses. Every good writer, marching to his or her own drumbeat, marks out a vibrational field as home territory. The cadences of our sentences carry echos of ancestry and influence as surely as the double helix that orchstrates the life of the body Picture Quote #1

Not a sentence or a word is independent of the circumstances under which it is uttered Picture Quote #1

A painter must compensate the natural deficiencies of his art. He has but one sentence to utter, but one moment to exhibit. He cannot, like the poet or historian, expatiate, and impress the mind Picture Quote #1

The poets are the standard bearers of language. Their work lives or dies word by word. When I write and can hear a clunky sentence, I try to write up to the poetry that I have recited beforehand Picture Quote #1

To decide to reach for this blue and not that one, to switch styles or subject matter, to move, in the middle of a sentence, in one direction or another, to commit to this book when that one is also calling, are the sorts of choices that artists must make if they are to function Picture Quote #1

A good story, just like a good sentence, does more than one job at once. That’s what literature is: a story that does more than tell a story, a story that manages to reflect in some way the multilayered texture of life itself Picture Quote #1

I like to edit my sentences as I write them. I rearrange a sentence many times before moving on to the next one. For me, that editing process feels like a form of play, like a puzzle that needs solving, and it’s one of the most satisfying parts of writing Picture Quote #1

To understand oneself requires patience, tolerant awareness; the self is a book of many volumes which you cannot read in a day, but when once you begin to read, you must read every word, every sentence, every paragraph for in them are the intimations of the whole. The beginning of it is the ending of it. If you know how to read, supreme wisdom is to be found Picture Quote #1

I get a sentence, an idea, an image, and I start. I don’t know anything beyond it. I follow it Picture Quote #1

All the elements in an advertisement are primarily designed to do one thing and one thing only: get you to read the first sentence of the copy Picture Quote #1

I’m just very, very slow. I would not make it as a journalist, I’ve got to tell you. I sweat bullets over every sentence, and sometimes, you know, a day will pass and I’ve written one paragraph, and I’ve been at the computer for four hours Picture Quote #1

It’s much easier to have nothing to live up to. You surprise people when you form a full sentence Picture Quote #1

Every sentence stands on its own. Whether that’s fair or not, that’s kind of the way it is Picture Quote #1

I write a sentence a thousand times, changing it all the time to look at it in different ways Picture Quote #1

The declared meaning of a spoken sentence is only its overcoat, and the real meaning lies underneath its scarves and buttons Picture Quote #1

What separates the professionally successful... from all the rest is their ability to stay steady, to have stamina. It is one thing to write a good sentence, another to write a good book Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t ever write the full sentence myself, but then, I never use goto either Picture Quote #1

We agreed that great men and women should be forced to live as long as possible. The reverence they enjoyed was a life sentence, which they could neither revoke nor modify Picture Quote #1

The fact was I didn’t want to look my age, but I didn’t want to act the age I wanted to look either. I also wanted to grow old enough to understand that sentence Picture Quote #1

What a labour writing is... making one sentence do the work of a page; that’s what I call hard work Picture Quote #1

To survive, each sentence must have, at its heart, a little spark of fire, and this, whatever the risk, the novelist must pluck with his own hands from the blaze Picture Quote #1

The most disheartening tendency common among readers is to tear out one sentence from a work, as a criterion of the writer’s ideas or personality Picture Quote #1

I am slow. A sentence often takes an hour to compose before I throw it out. What can you do? Picture Quote #1

There is no such thing as a natural sentence but there is such a thing as a natural paragraph and it must be found Picture Quote #1

The unit of the poet is the word, the unit of the prose writer is the sentence Picture Quote #1

Some is, I think, the personal in any act of writing. You find yourself caught up: you start a sentence, and it becomes revelatory, not just of the character, but of you as well Picture Quote #1

I had a vision... of being found on the pavement by some passerby, with a small punctuation mark ending my sentence of life Picture Quote #1
