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 Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I dream a sentence and write it down. It’s usually nonsense, but sometimes it seems a key to another world Picture Quote #1

To read is to surrender oneself to an endless displacement of curiosity and desire from one sentence to another, from one action to another, from one level of a text to another. The text unveils itself before us, but never allows itself to be possessed; and instead of trying to possess it we should take pleasure in its teasing Picture Quote #1

Some readers read a book as if it were an instruction manual, expecting to understand everything first time, but of course when you write, you put into every sentence an overflow of meaning, and you create in every sentence as many resonances and double meanings and ambiguities as you can possibly pack in there, so that people can read it again and get something new each time Picture Quote #1

The first sentence of a book is a handshake, perhaps an embrace. Style and personality are irrelevant. They can be formal or casual. They can be tall or short or fat or thin. They can obey the rules or break them. But they need to contain a charge. A live current, which shocks and illuminates Picture Quote #1

Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: Those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave Picture Quote #1

Some people tell me that we professional players are soccer slaves. Well, if this is slavery, give me a life sentence Picture Quote #1

I await your sentence with less fear than you pass it. The time will come when all will see what I see Picture Quote #1

Advertising companies hire the very brightest, wittiest young people to write for them. Not one single sentence of it is worth repeating. Why? Because it wasn’t meant Picture Quote #1

Pilate sentenced him due to fear, in accordance with the petition and intention of others. These people sentence him for their own advantage and without any fear, by dishonoring him through sin that they could abstain from, if they wanted. But they neither abstain from sin nor are they ashamed of their already committed sins, for they do not take into consideration their unworthiness of the kindness of the one whom they do not serve Picture Quote #1

A real friend is someone you say a sentence to and they know ten thousand words behind that sentence Picture Quote #1

That’s my only defense against this world: to build a sentence out of it Picture Quote #1

The most important sentence in a good book is the first one; it will contain the organic seed from which all that follows will grow Picture Quote #1

I am in favour of capital punishment if the execution of the sentence is immediate. The purpose of the death penalty is to send out a message to society Picture Quote #1

How can you trust a man who can talk for 5 minutes and you can’t understand a sentence of it! Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Nothing is more satisfying than to write a good sentence. It is no fun to write lumpishly, dully, in prose the reader must plod through like wet sand. But it is a pleasure to achieve, if one can, a clear running prose that is simple yet full of surprises. This does not just happen. It requires skill, hard work, a good ear, and continued practice Picture Quote #1

No one should ever have to read a sentence twice because of the way it is put together Picture Quote #1

From sentence to sentence, in fairy tales there is no reality that is subordinated to any other. Just as, outside the pages there is no reality Picture Quote #1

In a single sentence the moral is: admit that complexity always increases, first from the model you fit to the data, thence to the model you use to think about and plan about the experiment and its analysis, and thence to the true situation Picture Quote #1

I write because to write a new sentence, let alone a new poem, is to cross the threshold into both a larger existence and a profound mystery. A thought was not there, then it is. An image, a story, an idea about what it is to be human, did not exist, then it does. With every new poem, an emotion new to the heart, to the world, speaks itself into being Picture Quote #1

Bedeviled, / human, your plight, in waking, is to choose from the words / that even now sleep on your tongue, and to know that tangled / among them and terribly new is the sentence that could change your life Picture Quote #1

Very often we write down a sentence too early, then another too late; what we have to do is write it down at the proper time, otherwise it’s lost Picture Quote #1

I miss dogs, man. I always had a family pet, always had a dog growing up. It was almost equivalent to the prison sentence, having something taken away from me for three years. I want a dog just for the sake of my kids, but also me. I miss my companions Picture Quote #1

Hope. It’s like a drop of honey, a field of tulips blooming in the springtime. It’s a fresh rain, a whispered promise, a cloudless sky, the perfect punctuation mark at the end of a sentence. And it’s the only thing in the world keeping me afloat Picture Quote #1

And we are quotation marks, inverted and upside down, clinging to one another at the end of this life sentence. Trapped by lives we did not choose Picture Quote #1

If you don’t hit a newspaper reader between the eyes with your first sentence, there is no need of writing a second one Picture Quote #1

A book unwritten is a delightful universe of infinite possibilities. Set down one word, however, and it immediately becomes earthbound. Set down one sentence and it’s halfway to being just like every other bloody book that’s ever been written Picture Quote #1

I don’t have any real goals except to follow one good sentence with another... I’m not the kind of writer who has a map Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
