Text Quotes
The idea that everything is purposeful really changes the way you live. To think that everything that you do has a ripple effect, that every word that you speak, every action that you make affects other people and the planet  (Word Quotes) The word processor is a better tool than a quill pen because you can do so much more with it, but on the other hand, what you have to say and how you say it is the ultimate determination  (Word Quotes) You are the song of every bird, you are the poet’s every word, every artist’s picture, every writer’s play  (Word Quotes) Write a nonfiction book, and be prepared for the legion of readers who are going to doubt your fact. But write a novel, and get ready for the world to assume every word is true  (Word Quotes) We call infinite that thing whose limits we have not perceived, and so by that word we do not signify what we understand about a thing, but rather what we do not understand  (Word Quotes) I do interviews and signings and readings and all of these people just hang off my every word. And then I go home and have dinner with my family and nobody lets me get a word in  (Word Quotes) The craft of writing is all the stuff that you can learn through school; go to workshops and read books. Learn characterization, plot and dialogue and pacing and word choice and point of view. Then there’s also the art of it which is sort of the unknown, the inspiration, the stuff that is noncerebral  (Word Quotes) Of course, every time someone does a story on plastic surgery, my name will be dragged up. I’ve made it safe for other people to have plastic surgery. It’s no longer a bad word  (Word Quotes) Tormented by the cursed ambition always to put a whole book in a page, a whole page in a sentence, and this sentence in a word. I am speaking of myself  (Word Quotes) We fret about words, we writers. Words mean. Words point. They are arrows. Arrows stuck in the rough hide of reality. And the more portentous, more general the word, the more they can also resemble rooms or tunnels. They can expand, or cave in. They can come to be filled with a bad smell. They will often remind us of other rooms, where we’d rather dwell or where we think we are already living. They can be spaces we lose the art or the wisdom of inhabiting. And eventually those volumes of mental intention we no longer know how to inhabit will be abandoned, boarded up, closed down  (Word Quotes) In the life of a real writer, nothing is ever lost, no word you write is a waste of your time or energy  (Word Quotes) It’s misleading to think of writers as special creatures, word sorcerers who possess some sort of magical knowledge hidden from everyone else. Writers are ordinary people who like to write. They feel the urge to write, and they scratch that itch every chance they get  (Word Quotes) In fact, I argue that the future of advertising, whatever the technology, will be to associate each brand with one word. This is one word equity. It’s the modern equivalent of having the best site on the high street, except the location is in the mind  (Word Quotes) Well, politics is much more severe than entertainment. You have to hit those points, in politics, word for word. You have to remember the date. You have to remember the website. You have to rehearse stories that might be asked, have anecdotes ready for questions that might come up  (Word Quotes) ... teaching cannot be a process of transference of knowledge from the one teaching to the learner. This is the mechanical transference from which results machinelike memorization, which I have already criticized. Critical study correlates with teaching that is equally critical, which necessarily demands a critical way of comprehending and of realizing the reading of the word and that of the world, the reading of text and of context  (Word Quotes) The written word is the only anchor we have in life. How extraordinary would it be if we had even three or four paragraphs written honestly about their lives by our ancestors?  (Word Quotes) I’ve yet to find the exact word to describe the enjoyment that an evening spent riffling through old pattern books can bring  (Word Quotes) To be pure in heart is to take no delight in cunning, but converse sincerely with men, and express nothing, by word or look, which is not felt in the heart  (Word Quotes) What’s the best way to build a brand for the long term? In a word: culture  (Word Quotes) I’ve been being asked about my legacy since I was about 25 years old. I’m not sure you can have a legacy when you’re 25 years old. Even 37. I’d like to have to be, like, 70 to have a legacy. I’m not even 100 percent sure what the word even means  (Word Quotes) The stupidity of gossips is that they become frightened when they see your face, and a little word from your mouth makes them vibrate like an electrocuted criminal  (Word Quotes) A book is actually a place, a place where we, as adults, still have the chance to engage in active imagining, translating word to image, connecting these images to memories, dreams, and larger ideas. Television, film, even the stage play, have already been imagined for us, but the book, in whatever form we choose to interact with it, forces us to complete it  (Word Quotes) Don’t ever empty the bucket of mystery. Never let people define what you do. It’s not about zigging when you should zag. It’s not about doing something unprecedented and unpredictable. It’s just about never being a word, or something that is not in the process of transformation  (Word Quotes) We do not increase compassion by expanding it to cover anything. Instead, we kill a good word by making it mean too much, and nothing  (Word Quotes) I’m a bachelor in the old sense of the word, meaning I flirt, I have very many close relationships, but then I come home and like to read my book  (Word Quotes) Art to me is not precious enough that I feel territorial about what the word gets applied to. Conversations about what counts as art and what doesn’t doesn’t captivate my attention very much  (Word Quotes) I think the older you are, the more you’re going to cling to the printed word as being sacred  (Word Quotes) There are no words to describe the pain of burying a child, and specifically there is no word to label their new, lifelong status. If you lose a spouse, you are a widow; if you lose a parent, you are an orphan. But what about when you lose a child? How do you name something you cannot comprehend?  (Word Quotes) For survivors, the word closure often connotes that the bereaved are underachievers who flunked a grief course  (Word Quotes) When you live with integrity and value your word over your excuses, you have the power to speak your dreams into existence  (Word Quotes)
