Write Quotes

I write as if to save somebody’s life. Probably my own. Life is a kind of madness that death makes. Long live the dead because we live in them Picture Quote #1

Why should I be polished and improved like goods for sale? I might not even want to marry! And besides, I have many skills. I can read and write and play the flute and harp. Why should I change to please some man? If he doesn’t like me the way I am, then he can get some other girl for his wife Picture Quote #1

I read books when I was a kid, lots of books. Books always seemed like magic to me. They took you to the most amazing places. When I got older, I realized I couldn’t find books that took me to all the places I wanted to go. To go to those places, I had to write some books myself Picture Quote #1

One should write only those books from whose absence one suffers. In short: the ones you want on your own desk Picture Quote #1

We are all refugees from our childhoods. And so we turn, among other things, to stories. To write a story, to read a story, is to be a refugee from the state of refugees. Writers and readers seek a solution to the problem that time passes, that those who have gone are gone and those who will go, which is to say every one of us, will go. For there was a moment when anything was possible. And there will be a moment when nothing is possible. But in between we can create Picture Quote #1

If you don’t have the time to read, you don’t have the time or the tools to write Picture Quote #1

Remember, you didn’t come here to write your heart out. You came to write it in Picture Quote #1

When I write this in bed, I can almost hear the echo of the wind over the sand, or the groans of wooden panels around me. I can almost smell the dustiness of the camel, taste the bitterness of saltbush. And when I dream, your warm hands cover my shoulders. Your whispers carry stories and sound like the rustle of spinifex. I still wear that ring, you know... at night, when no one is watching Picture Quote #1

The words we read and words we write never say exactly what we mean. The people we love are never just as we desire them. The two symbola never perfectly match. Eros is in between Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to write for adults. I want to write for readers who can perform miracles. Only children perform miracles when they read Picture Quote #1

That’s what it feels like when I write, like I have this beautiful world in my head, but when I try to remember it in order to write it down, I change it, and I can’t ever get it back Picture Quote #1

I don’t write a quick draft and then revise; instead, I work slowly page by page, revising and polishing Picture Quote #1

I never discuss a novel while I’m writing it, for fear that talking about it will diminish my desire to write it Picture Quote #1

That historians should give their own country a break, I grant you; but not so as to state things contrary to fact. For there are plenty of mistakes made by writers out of ignorance, and which any man finds it difficult to avoid. But if we knowingly write what is false, whether for the sake of our country or our friends or just to be pleasant, what difference is there between us and hack writers? Readers should be very attentive to and critical of historians, and they in turn should be constantly on their guard Picture Quote #1

I think it’s the people who have no doubt that every word they put down is gold that probably don’t write very well Picture Quote #1

In the year 2000 an illiterate person will not be someone who can’t read or write, but someone who is not able to learn, unlearn and learn again Picture Quote #1

The only reason I would write a sequel is if I were struck by an idea that I felt to be equal to the original. Too many sequels diminish the original Picture Quote #1

I don’t just write music to esthetically satisfy somebody. The reason I write music is that I feel it’s a vehicle or channel which leads to your true self, your essence Picture Quote #1

The pens which write against disarmament are made with the same steel from which guns are made Picture Quote #1

A good simulation, be it a religious myth or scientific theory, gives us a sense of mastery over experience. To represent something symbolically, as we do when we speak or write, is somehow to capture it, thus making it one’s own. But with this appropriation comes the realization that we have denied the immediacy of reality and that in creating a substitute we have but spun another thread in the web of our grand illusion Picture Quote #1

Journalists write because they have nothing to say, and have something to say because they write Picture Quote #1

One of the rules of history is that people do not write about what is too obvious to mention. And so the information, having never been recorded, is now lost for ever Picture Quote #1

An artist should write for himself and not for an audience. If the audience likes it, great. If not, they can keep away Picture Quote #1

... people today are so accustomed to pretentious nonsense that they see nothing amiss in reading without understanding, and many of them at length discover that they can without difficulty write in like manner themselves and win applause for it. And so it perpetuates itself Picture Quote #1

It is a transition, from modelling to singing, but for me it’s a natural progression. The modelling was something I did to travel the world and make some money and end up doing what I want to do. It was a way for me to go gather the experience to write an album and now sing about it Picture Quote #1

If you write one story, it may be bad; if you write a hundred, you have the odds in your favor Picture Quote #1

Water, like religion and ideology, has the power to move millions of people. Since the very birth of human civilization, people have moved to settle close to it. People move when there is too little of it. People move when there is too much of it. People journey down it. People write, sing and dance about it. People fight over it. And all people, everywhere and every day, need it Picture Quote #1

One of the great moments of my life was when I could write musician on my passport Picture Quote #1

I can’t help but to write, I have a inner need for it. If I’m not in the middle of some literary project, I’m utterly lost, unhappy and distressed. As soon as I get started, I calm down Picture Quote #1

I write to tell stories. I believe that there a some professions in the world that will last forever: doctor or a nurse, teacher, builder and a storyteller. I write also to become myself, more so day by day. Writing is a way to shape out visible and invisible, in myself as well as in the world Picture Quote #1
