Write Quotes

I write. I imagine. The act of imagining in itself enlivens me. I am not frozen and paralyzed before the predator. I invent characters. At times I feel as if I am digging up people from the ice in which reality enshrouded them, but maybe, more than anything else, it is myself that I am now digging up Picture Quote #1

The key to all knowledge comes in words of just one syllable, apparently... There’s only the last page left to write on. I’ll fill it with words of just one syllable. I love. I have loved. I will love Picture Quote #1

Lord, let me write, leave me autistic and typing until my windows bust into a thousand silver doves and I know the poem is done Picture Quote #1

I always see nice images like that but I don’t know what to do with them. I guess you share them with someone. Or you write them down in a poem. I had so many of those little images, but I never shared them or wrote any of them down Picture Quote #1

We may talk a good game and write even better ones, but we never outgrow those small wounded things we were when we were five and six and seven Picture Quote #1

One must write poetry in such as way that if one threw the poem in a window, the pane would break Picture Quote #1

I read hungrily and delightedly, and have realized since that you can’t write unless you read Picture Quote #1

As a writer, I demand the right to write any character in the world that I want to write. I demand the right to be them, I demand the right to think them and I demand the right to tell the truth as I see they are Picture Quote #1

The only way you can write is by the light of the bridges burning behind you Picture Quote #1

Write to amuse? What an appalling suggestion! I write to make people anxious and miserable and to worsen their indigestion 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

The bards sing of love, they celebrate slaughter, they extol kings and flatter queens, but were I a poet I would write in praise of friendship Picture Quote #1

If people can write to each other across space, why can they not write across time too? Picture Quote #1

It is a melancholy illusion of those who write books and articles that the printed word survives. Alas, it rarely does Picture Quote #1

Most people’s first books are their best anyways. It’s the one they wanted most to write Picture Quote #1

I need to write down my observations. Even the tiniest ones; they’re the most important Picture Quote #1

I’ve determined the ideal job for me is one where I can write clever essays about my life and my employer will give me enough money not only to live a comfortable existence, but also to buy many, many new pairs of shoes Picture Quote #1

You can’t write a script in your mind and then force yourself to follow it. You have to let yourself be Picture Quote #1

Today at school I will learn to read at once; then tomorrow I will begin to write, and the day after tomorrow to cipher. Then with my acquirements I will earn a great deal of money, and with the first money I have in my pocket I will immediately buy for my papa a beautiful new cloth coat. But what am I saying? Cloth, indeed! It shall be all made of gold and silver, and it shall have diamond buttons. That poor man really deserves it; for to buy me books and to have me taught he has remained in his shirt sleeves... And in this cold! It is only fathers who are capable of such sacrifices! Picture Quote #1

Why do you keep reading a book? Usually to find out what happens. Why do you give up and stop reading it? There may be lots of reasons. But often the answer is you don’t care what happens. So what makes the difference between caring and not caring? The author’s cruelty. And the reader’s sympathy... it takes a mean author to write a good story Picture Quote #1

You can’t write... on the strength of influence. You can only write a good story or a good novel by yourself Picture Quote #1

Does he write to you? Never a line. Does he send you a message? Never a word. It is because he loves you, poor fool, and is trying to forget you, since you are not free to listen to him or to belong to him 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

In order really to write one has to sink deep into the self and become lost there Picture Quote #1

I didn’t write that song to try and win you over, or to steal you away from him. I wrote it because I knew I never could Picture Quote #1

Don’t worry whether or not I am now happy. Today is only chapter one, we have yet to write a book Picture Quote #1

I don’t start a novel until I have lived with the story for awhile to the point of actually writing an outline and after a number of books I’ve learned that the more time I spend on the outline the easier the book is to write. And if I cheat on the outline I get in trouble with the book Picture Quote #1

Sit and quiet yourself. Luxuriate in a certain memory and the details will come. Let the images flow. You’ll be amazed at what will come out on paper. I’m still learning what it is about the past that I want to write. I don’t worry about it. It will emerge. It will insist on being told Picture Quote #1

I try to write a certain amount each day, five days a week. A rule sometimes broken is better than no rule Picture Quote #1

One thing I knew about the novelist’s task: when in doubt, write; when empty, write; when afraid, write. Nothing is more impenetrable than the blank page. The blank page is the void, the absence of sense and feeling, the white light of literary death Picture Quote #1
