Was Quotes

Journalism largely consists in saying

It was one of those perfect English autumnal days which occur more frequently in memory than in life Picture Quote #1

We've switched from a culture that was interested in manufacturing, economics, politics - trying to play a serious part in the world - to a culture that's really entertainment based Picture Quote #1

When I write about a 15 year old, I jump, I return to the days when I was that age. It's like a time machine. I can remember everything. I can feel the wind. I can smell the air. Very actually. Very vividly Picture Quote #1

I was in enough to get along with people. I was never socially inarticulate. Not a loner. And that saved my life, saved my sanity. That and the writing. But to this day I distrust anybody who thought school was a good time. Anybody Picture Quote #1

The ideal death, I think, is what was the ideal Victorian death, you know, with your grandchildren around you, a bit of sobbing. And you say goodbye to your loved ones, making certain that one of them has been left behind to look after the shop Picture Quote #1

There was once a caustic comment from someone suggesting I was breeding a new race. Fans from different countries have married, amazing things like that. I've been to some of the weddings. I went to one here the other day, a pagan ceremony Picture Quote #1

Was ever book containing such vile matter so fairly bound? O, that deceit should dwell in such a gorgeous palace! Picture Quote #1

Because, if one is writing novels today, concentrating on the beauty of the prose is right up there with concentrating on your semi-colons, for wasted effort Picture Quote #1

In many ways, it was much, much harder to get the first book contract. The hardest thing probably overall has been learning not to trust people, publicists and so forth, implicitly Picture Quote #1

I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will Picture Quote #1

When wasteful war shall statues overturn, and broils root out the work of masonry, nor Mars his sword nor wars quick fire shall burn the living record of your memory Picture Quote #1

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many things I sought, and with old woes new wail my dear time's waste Picture Quote #1

I was one of the first authors to have an active website. I'm totally obsessed with technology. I'm always looking for ways to connect with my readers. I answer all my fan mail Picture Quote #1

To know the cause why music was ordain'd! Was it not to refresh the mind of a man after his studies or his usual pain? Picture Quote #1

What's funny about that is when I was writing Twilight just for myself and not thinking of it as a book, I was not thinking about publishing, and yet at the same time I was casting it in my head. Because when I read books, I see them very visually Picture Quote #1

The education that prepared me was my general education classes, which I tried to avoid when I was a stupid undergraduate, but which gave me the foundation of general knowledge that makes a career as a writer possible Picture Quote #1

I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, his cloak was out at the elbows, the water passed through his shoes, and the stars through his soul Picture Quote #1

I first became a vegetarian when I was nine, in response to an argument made by a radical babysitter. My great change - which lasted a couple of weeks - was based on the very simple instinct that it's wrong to kill animals for food Picture Quote #1

It was one of those evenings when men feel that truth, goodness and beauty are one. In the morning, when they commit their discovery to paper, when others read it written there, it looks wholly ridiculous Picture Quote #1

Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great Picture Quote #1

Men go into marriage with virtually no expectations whatsoever. Ten years later, the men are delightfully surprised to find out that it's actually kind of nice, and the women have sort of had to take a nose dive from what they thought it was going to be Picture Quote #1

Did perpetual happiness in the Garden of Eden maybe get so boring that eating the apple was justified? Picture Quote #1

My career started young and I was really ambitious, and then I had success and I hung out with people who were much older. I think I might have been temporally misplaced, so I thought I was 40. It was a premature midlife crisis Picture Quote #1

There is no need to worry about mere size. We do not necessarily respect a fat man more than a thin man. Sir Isaac Newton was very much smaller than a hippopotamus, but we do not on that account value him less Picture Quote #1

In all history there is no war which was not hatched by the governments, the governments alone, independent of the interests of the people, to whom war is always pernicious even when successful Picture Quote #1

O what a fall was there, my countrymen! Then I, and you, and all of us fell down, whilst bloody treason flourished over us Picture Quote #1

This was the noblest Roman of them all: all the conspirators save only he Did that they did in envy of great Caesar. He only, in a general honest thought and common good to all, made one of them Picture Quote #1

A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars Picture Quote #1

I have thought there was some advantage even in death, by which we mingle with the herd of common men Picture Quote #1
