Workshop Quotes

I try something new every night. It’s an hour show; if it works I maybe try it a few more times and then move that off and try something new. It’s a great workshop for me Picture Quote #1

I worked privately, and sometimes I feel that might be better for poets than the kind of social workshop gathering. My school was the great poets: I read, and I read, and I read Picture Quote #1

If you want help in starting to write memoirs, you don’t want to fall into the clutches of a famous writer who has been hired to teach at a writing workshop solely because of his name’s ability to attract students, rather than because of any teaching skill. You should not have to grapple with someone who secretly thinks you should be writing about his life rather than your own Picture Quote #1

People say to me, Who’s your favorite kind of photographer? Or Who would be your favorite photographer to have in a workshop? And I always say, My Dad Picture Quote #1

I have got to do something that makes me focus on one thing, and so I will sit and listen to music, or I will read, or I will go and make ammunition in my workshop. I have just got to keep myself busy Picture Quote #1

Let failure be your workshop. See it for what is is: the world walking you through a tough but necessary semester, free of tuition. (from Workbook) Picture Quote #1

This world is not a place merely to live in, nor a place in which to do certain kinds of business; it is a great workshop in which to make godly men Picture Quote #1

I would have a workshop attached to every school, and one hour a day given up to the teaching of simple decorative arts. It would be a golden hour to the children Picture Quote #1

I teach one semester a year, and this year I’m just teaching one course during that semester, a writing workshop for older students in their late 20s and early 30s, people in our graduate program who are already working on a manuscript and trying to bring it to completion Picture Quote #1

Had I made capital on my prettiness, I should have closed the doors of public employment to women for many a year, by the very means which now makes them weak, underpaid competitors in the great workshop of the world Picture Quote #1

I have a feeling that art is something you do for yourself, and that any time you turn your decisions over to someone else you’re postponing at best, your own development. The atmosphere of the workshop should be that of trying out one’s own work and accepting the signals from others but not accepting the dictation of others because that is a violation of the spirit of art. Art can’t be done by somebody else, it has got to be done by the artist Picture Quote #1

I collect puppet stuff. I have a puppet workshop in my garage. I was looking for any opportunity to be able to get very creatively involved in that world Picture Quote #1

There must be a balance of honesty and charity in the workshop. Everyone must be aware of a fellow human being behind the work being discussed, and criticism has to be useful, not just derogatory or laudatory Picture Quote #1

Ideas for gadgets for the disabled were coming into my head so fast they seemed to be arriving from somewhere outside of me, beamed down by an unremitting force. I had little control over them, or their flow. I would wake up in the middle of the night. A blinding flash of an idea would rouse me from my bed and I’d rush down to my workshop to have a go at it before the inspiration dimmed Picture Quote #1

I was fascinated by the effects that could be achieved by editing. The cutting room became a magic workshop for me Picture Quote #1

I recall that my workshop leaders were tactful in their ways of acquainting me with my shortcomings as a writer. So much so that I hardly realized they were doing it. I want always to keep that sort of thing in mind when I’m teaching. The way you get better in everything in this life is to make mistakes. Otherwise you’re probably doing it right by accident. But you have to do everything wrong before you can really start with some authority to do it right Picture Quote #1

If you want help in starting to write memoirs, you don’t want to fall into the clutches of a famous writer who has been hired to teach at a writing workshop solely because of his name’s ability to attract students, rather than because of any teaching skill. You should not have to grapple with someone who secretly thinks you should be writing about his life rather than your own Picture Quote #1

If the term discussion has always seemed to me to imply mild warnings of wasted time, workshop sets off a clangorous alarm Picture Quote #1

Praise the green earth. Chance has appointed her home, workshop, larder, middenpit. Her lousy skin scabbed here and there by cities provides us with name and nation Picture Quote #1

Although it has been said that idle hands are the devil’s workshop, when it comes to teenagers, both idle and active hands are the devil’s workshop Picture Quote #1

What I get on a yoga mat, and from a yoga teacher, has been more beneficial onstage than any other workshop I’ve ever done Picture Quote #1

I did not go to any creative writing workshop; I did not major in literature. If I can write, anyone can write. All it needs is imagination Picture Quote #1

Most married couples spend the whole day apart, the woman in the house, the man in the office or study or workshop Picture Quote #1

My notion of a failed writing workshop is when everybody comes out replicating the teacher and imitating as closely as possible the great original at the head of the table. I think that’s a mistake, in obvious opposition to the ideal of teaching which permits a student to be someone other than the teacher... The successful teacher has to make each of the students a different product rather than the same Picture Quote #1

Nature is not a temple, but a workshop, and man’s the workman in it Picture Quote #1

I teach one semester a year, and this year I’m just teaching one course during that semester, a writing workshop for older students in their late 20s and early 30s, people in our graduate program who are already working on a manuscript and trying to bring it to completion Picture Quote #1

Our country, if it does justice to itself, will be the workshop of liberty to the civilized world Picture Quote #1
