Text Quotes
If I have any advantage, maybe, as a writer, it is that I don’t think I’m very interesting. I mean, beginning a novel with the last sentence is a pretty plodding way to spend your life.  (Sentence Quotes) When I’m putting a story together, I generally know the ending and a couple of the points halfway through, and I’ve got sort of an idea about the beginning, and although I do write the story one sentence at a time, when I’m thinking it up, I’m thinking it up all at once.  (Sentence Quotes) If you want to know how to make people shun you and laugh at you behind your back and even despise you, here is the recipe: Never listen to anyone for long. Talk incessantly about yourself. If you have an idea while the other person is talking, don’t wait for him or her to finish: bust right in and interrupt in the middle of a sentence.  (Sentence Quotes) The most challenging part of being a dad is trying to postpone the moment when they realize you don’t know anything. I love any sentence that begins with Daddy...? because it’s implied they’re looking up to you - that you’ll have the answer. The truth is, I don’t have any answers.  (Sentence Quotes) Beautiful sentences pop into my head. Beautiful sentences that aren’t always absolutely accurate. Then, I have to choose between the beautiful sentence and being absolutely accurate. It can be a difficult choice.  (Sentence Quotes) I had a vision ... of being found on the pavement by some passerby, with a small punctuation mark ending my sentence of life.  (Sentence Quotes) When I’m sitting at the desk not being able to write line one, it’s silence and despair! It’s not so easy to put the pen to the legal pad or type the first sentence on the computer screen.  (Sentence Quotes) Everyone suffers; life is pain; and death is the final punctuation at the end of that sentence, so deal with it. I really think you can manage pain and suffering by living in fullness and being true to yourself and all those seemingly vapid platitudes.  (Sentence Quotes) You should write, write, write every day, and learn to edit and pare it right back so you’re proud of every sentence, and each one is either being useful or beautiful, but hopefully both.  (Sentence Quotes) The best movies have one sentence that they’re exploring, a thesis, something that people can argue about over dinner afterward.  (Sentence Quotes) Big can be beautiful - just not to me. I find you disgusting; freshmen 15 is not a life sentence.  (Sentence Quotes) You hear the word ‘cancer,’ and you think it is a death sentence. In fact, the shock is the biggest thing about a diagnosis of cancer.  (Sentence Quotes) I have a horror of the blank page. I simply cannot write on a blank page or screen. Because once I do, I start to fix it, and I never get past the first sentence.  (Sentence Quotes) The writer learns to write, in the last resort, only by writing. He must get words onto paper even if he is dissatisfied with them. A young writer must cross many psychological barriers to acquire confidence in his capacity to produce good work-especially his first full-length book-and he cannot do this by staring at a piece of blank paper, searching for the perfect sentence.  (Sentence Quotes) The sensation of writing a book is the sensation of spinning, blinded by love and daring. It is the sensation of a stunt pilot’s turning barrel rolls, or an inchworm’s blind rearing from a stem in search of a route. At its worst, it feels like alligator wrestling, at the level of the sentence.  (Sentence Quotes) Don’t look back until you’ve written an entire draft, just begin each day from the last sentence you wrote the preceding day. This prevents those cringing feelings, and means that you have a substantial body of work before you get down to the real work which is all in ... the edit.  (Sentence Quotes) It’s always a challenge to discover the most effective first sentence, and the most effective final sentence, in a chapter for instance, and in the book as a whole.  (Sentence Quotes) When I’m writing a book, sentence by sentence, I’m not thinking theoretically. I’m just trying to work out the story from inside the characters I’ve got.  (Sentence Quotes) In the Book of Poetry there are three hundred poems, but the meaning of all of them may be put in a single sentence: Have no debasing thoughts.  (Sentence Quotes) More than ninety-five percent of your brain activity, as you consciously read this sentence, is being used by your subconscious mind.  (Sentence Quotes) Because when I read, I don’t really read; I pop a beautiful sentence into my mouth and suck it like a fruit drop, or I sip it like a liqeur until the thought dissolves in me like alcohol, infusing brain and heart and coursing on through the veins to the root of each blood vessel.  (Sentence Quotes) Breast Cancer is not necessarily a death sentence, stay strong and centered and be involved in all aspects of your treatment.  (Sentence Quotes) Always try to use the language so as to make quite clear what you mean and make sure your sentence couldn’t mean anything else.  (Sentence Quotes) The finest words in the world are only vain sounds if you can’t understand them. The best sentence? The shortest.  (Sentence Quotes) Cancer patients are lied to, not just because the disease is (or is thought to be) a death sentence, but because it is felt to be obscene - in the original meaning of that word: ill-omened, abominable, repugnant to the senses.  (Sentence Quotes) New York became the first state to ban talking on hand-held cell phones while driving. First-time violators could receive a fine of $100, with an additional mandatory six-month jail sentence if your ringer plays a Latin-themed novelty song.  (Sentence Quotes) I was brought up in a family of leaders, and I think leadership is a life sentence. I like changing things that will shape the future.  (Sentence Quotes) Having a soft major is nowhere near the career death sentence that so many make it out to be. The world is changing, and the U.S. economy with it. Our economy is shifting to a service- and information-based economy, and soft majors are already becoming more and more valuable.  (Sentence Quotes) The history of all the great characters of the Bible is summed up in this one sentence: They acquainted themselves with God, and acquiesced His will in all things.  (Sentence Quotes) I don’t deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with Charles Chaplin  (Sentence Quotes)
