Typewriter Quotes

I have a love/hate relationship with just about all technology in my life. My first typewriter in particular. I had a helluva time putting new ribbon on it Picture Quote #1

I’m not one of those writers I learned about who get up in the morning, put a piece of paper in their typewriter machine and start writing. That I’ve never understood Picture Quote #1

No one uses a ribbon typewriter any more, but your final draft is not the time to try to wring a few more sheets out of your inkjet cartridge Picture Quote #1

Somebody said writing is easy, you just sit down at your typewriter and open a vein. It depends on the book. Some, I have to do quite a lot of research, which I like. Others are much closer to me Picture Quote #1

I always value my large kitchen because it was better to do everything there, you wash up, you do everything, rather than messing up another room and I pop my typewriter just next to it. So I still write now but I was doing more writing when the children were younger Picture Quote #1

I don’t want anything to do with anything mechanical between me and the paper, including a typewriter, and I don’t even want a fountain pen between me and the paper Picture Quote #1

I have been under considerable pressure to buy at least a laptop computer. I have always turned the suggestions down for the reason that I have never done creative work on a typewriter. There is to me a lack of empathy Picture Quote #1

You are just in the middle of a struggle with words which are really very stubborn things, with a blank page, with the damn thing that you use to write with, a pen or a typewriter, and you forget all about the reader when you are doing that Picture Quote #1

A catless writer is almost inconceivable. It’s a perverse taste, really, since it would be easier to write with a herd of buffalo in the room than even one cat; they make nests in the notes and bite the end of the pen and walk on the typewriter keys Picture Quote #1

I try to sit down at the typewriter four times a day, even if it’s only five minutes, and write three sentences Picture Quote #1

I have had the irreplaceable opportunity of learning my profession with the proper tools, the most important of which is not a pencil or a typewriter, but the necessary time to think before using them Picture Quote #1

I’d love to maybe try writing. I don’t know if I’d publish anything, but as a hobby, it’s really nice. I bought a typewriter, and I really like to write on the typewriter sometimes. It’s a fun little hobby Picture Quote #1

While the novelist is banging on his typewriter, the poet is watching a fly in the windowpane Picture Quote #1

People on the outside think there’s something magical about writing, that you go up in the attic at midnight and cast the bones and come down in the morning with a story, but it isn’t like that. You sit in back of the typewriter and you work, and that’s all there is to it Picture Quote #1

They gave 12 monkeys a typewriter for a week, and after a week, they only used it as a bathroom Picture Quote #1

There is a similarity between juggling and composing on the typewriter. The trick is, when you spill something, make it look like a part of the act Picture Quote #1

Writing is easy. Just sit in front of a typewriter, open up a vein and bleed it out drop by drop Picture Quote #1

When you consider all the writers who never even had a machine. Who would have given an eyeball for a good typewriter. Any typewriter. All the ones who wrote on a matchbook covers. Paper bags. Toilet paper. Who had their writing destroyed by their jailers. Who persisted beyond all odds Picture Quote #1

For good work to develop the technology needs to become as stable and functional as a typewriter Picture Quote #1

The poet’s life is just so much crenellated waste, nights and days whipping swiftly or laboriously past the cinematic window. We’re hunched and weaving over the keys of our green our grey or pink blue manual typewriter maybe a darker stone cold thoritative selectric with its orgasmic expectant hum and us popping pills and laughing over what you or I just wrote, wondering if that line means insult or sex. Or both. Usually both Picture Quote #1

The worst kind of censorship is the kind that takes place in your own mind before you sit down to a typewriter Picture Quote #1

For your information, a good novel can change the world. Keep that in mind before you attempt to sit down at a typewriter. Never waste time on something you don’t believe in yourself Picture Quote #1

My younger daughter told me recently that when she was a child she thought the typewriter was a toy that I went into my room and closed the door and played with Picture Quote #1

I know there are writers who get up every morning and sit by their typewriter or word processor or pad of paper and wait to write. I don’t function that way. I go through a long period of gestation before I’m even ready to write Picture Quote #1

When I sit at that typewriter, I have to be frightened of what I’m trying to do. I’m frightened by my own belief that I can actually get a story down on paper Picture Quote #1

I don’t do rewrites. I put all the pages in a pile next to the typewriter Picture Quote #1

I enjoy the process of writing. The torment comes in getting my bottom on the chair and in front of the typewriter Picture Quote #1

My boyfriend got me a computer three years ago. I’ll admit it does make things a lot easier. When I was working on a typewriter and I whited out a line, often I would choose a word to go in the space just because it fit. Now I don’t have to do that Picture Quote #1

I don’t use a typewriter, I write longhand, with a pencil. Essentially I’m a horizontal writer. I think better when I’m lying down Picture Quote #1
