Text Quotes
Now, after I have published a few books, I can clearly feel the impact of censorship when I write. For example, I’ll think of a sentence, and then realize that it will for sure get deleted. Then I won’t even write it down  (Sentence Quotes) Wine lovers all speak of their First Time, a quasi-spiritual moment of awakening to wine’s wonderment. After that, it’s a life sentence. I’ve seen it happen to even the most confirmed beer sluggers  (Sentence Quotes) A reader, encountering a sentence about a barking dog, would have to dwell on why that choice was made at that moment. Everything in a novel is explicitly chosen, whereas some of what a film captures feels incidental, according to the vagaries of photography and sound recording  (Sentence Quotes) The way we learn to write is the way we learn to talk: We listen to others and start mimicking speech, and that’s how we come to become speakers. Writers you admire, you admire the way they plot, you admire the way they create a character, you admire the way they put a sentence together, those are the writers you should be reading  (Sentence Quotes) When we’re rational about rule-breaking we set a limit. You don’t get 30 years in prison for a traffic ticket. But sometimes you sentence yourself to months or years of emotional pain over minor offenses  (Sentence Quotes) The great thing about Coulson is that he’s a little bit like a party game, where the next person who gets ahold of him gets to write another sentence. I’m constantly learning more and more about the guy  (Sentence Quotes) What happens when you speak colloquial Hebrew is you switch between registers all the time. So in a typical sentence, three words are biblical, one word is Russian, and one word is Yiddish. This kind of connection between very high language and very low language is very natural, people use it all the time  (Sentence Quotes) The resistance to my work, and to my way of writing, has been there from the beginning. The first things I wrote were these short short stories collected in At the Bottom of the River, and at least three of them are one sentence long. They were printed in The New Yorker, over the objections of many of the editors in the fiction department  (Sentence Quotes) I’m a terrible sentence finisher. I think that’s why I’m a songwriter. When you write a song, there are no rules, and I think that I talk as if there are no rules. But then I run this great risk of no one understanding me at all  (Sentence Quotes) I had this bad habit of not writing out a first draft and going back. For me it was the first sentence, then the second sentence, and I might be several weeks on the first page instead of writing a draft and trying to figure it out from there  (Sentence Quotes) My grandmother has kept all of his stuff in a drawer. This one notebook was particularly chilling. He’s [howard Brookner] writing to his parents knowing he has a death sentence; his movies are how he’ll live on  (Sentence Quotes) Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill rode to glory on the back of the strong declarative sentence  (Sentence Quotes) The whole secret of abundant living can be summed up on this sentence: ‘Not your responsibility but your response to God’s ability’  (Sentence Quotes) The first step to becoming a more peaceful person is to have the humility to admit that, in most cases, you’re creating your own emergencies. Life will usually go on if things don’t go according to plan. It’s helpful to keep reminding yourself and repeating the sentence, Life isn’t an emergency  (Sentence Quotes) And I don’t want to begin something, I don’t want to write that first sentence until all the important connections in the novel are known to me. As if the story has already taken place, and it’s my responsibility to put it in the right order to tell it to you.  (Sentence Quotes) The first American word that I learned was cheeseburger. And the first sentence I learned was, I’m sorry but we don’t serve breakfast after 12 o’clock.  (Sentence Quotes) The death sentence is a barbaric act . . . It is a reflection of the animal instinct still in human beings.  (Sentence Quotes) You can tell within a sentence if something is fiction or non-fiction. You can tell in the artifice of the language or the care of the construction the difference between art and life.  (Sentence Quotes) I’d be honored to be in the same sentence as Tom Hardy. I’ve been a twin since the day I was born - fraternal, but we look a lot alike - so I’ve already been mixed up with another man my entire life.  (Sentence Quotes) Just to be mentioned in the same sentence with those guys feels good, but I want to take it to another level. I respect those guys because they did it. I’m trying to get where they’re at, where people talk about me bringing a championship here.  (Sentence Quotes) I feel at various times in my life that I’ve been at a point where I had to choose between a death sentence and a life sentence. And I want to live. What do I do to live? What do I do to be vital? And the answer is always creativity. The answer is always art.  (Sentence Quotes) I think it’s insulting to an audience to make them sit and watch a film and then give them a message in one sentence.  (Sentence Quotes) I’ve been quite fascinated by the relative insignificance of human existence, the shortness of life. We might as well be a letter in a word in a sentence on a page in a book in a library in a city in one country in this enormous universe! And that kind of fear and insignificance has kept me awake at night.  (Sentence Quotes) I’m very bad at ending sentences. A lot times I just want to say, ‘That’s the end of my sentence. I have nothing more to say.’  (Sentence Quotes) School is a twelve-year jail sentence where bad habits are the only curriculum truly learned. I teach school and win awards doing it. I should know.  (Sentence Quotes) The moment that I realized my name was going to be said in the same sentence as children and sex, that’s really intense. That’s something I knew from that very moment, whatever happens past that point, something’s out there in the air that is really bad.  (Sentence Quotes) Working with children is a whole other ball game. They’re like little animals. You have to keep the camera turned on them all the time. Sometimes it takes a 41-minute take to get one sentence out in a believable way.  (Sentence Quotes) I’m trying always to leave out what I think is extraneous. And to find what I think is the most wonderful language to make a beautiful sentence.  (Sentence Quotes) It blew my mind, reading Swing Time, that I could take any sentence in the book, and it was one of the most beautiful sentences written in English.  (Sentence Quotes) A beautiful sentence and a beautiful sunset derive from the same source  (Sentence Quotes)
