Write Quotes

I believe that people should write biographies only about people they love, or understand, or both. Novels, on the other hand, are often better if they’re about people the writer doesn’t like very much Picture Quote #1

I write music, it’s performed. After all, my music says it all. It doesn’t need historical and hysterical commentaries. In the long run, any words about music are less important than the music Picture Quote #1

The ability to write compelling emails may be the single most useful talent an organizer can possess Picture Quote #1

I write because to write a new sentence, let alone a new poem, is to cross the threshold into both a larger existence and a profound mystery. A thought was not there, then it is. An image, a story, an idea about what it is to be human, did not exist, then it does. With every new poem, an emotion new to the heart, to the world, speaks itself into being Picture Quote #1

When I write, I don’t know what is going to emerge. I begin in a condition of complete unknowing, an utter nakedness of concept or goal. A word appears, another word appears, an image. It is a moving into mystery Picture Quote #1

Don’t ask me to write a check for you when you think your job is at risk and then don’t pay any attention to me when my job is at stake Picture Quote #1

I never had any other thought in my mind. I was gonna write songs, I was gonna be a star and a singer and I never thought of doing anything else Picture Quote #1

I don’t see how you can write anything of value if you don’t offend someone Picture Quote #1

I see no reason to spend your life writing poems unless your goal is to write great poems Picture Quote #1

If our goal is to write poetry, the only way we are likely to be any good is to try to be as great as the best Picture Quote #1

Without dignity our lives are only blinks of duration. But if we manage to lead a good life well, we create something more. We write a subscript to our mortality. We make our lives tiny diamonds in the cosmic sands Picture Quote #1

I write in praise of the solitary act: of not feeling a trespassing tongue forced into one’s mouth, one’s breath smothered, nipples crushed against the ribcage, and that metallic tingling in the chin set off by a certain odd nerve: unpleasure Picture Quote #1

When I write a paper, I change my notation much more than I change my concepts Picture Quote #1

Books are like your children. They take nine months to write; the manuscript weighs six pounds and... you send them out into the world and hope that some day they’ll send back money Picture Quote #1

It’s the stuff that happens right in front of your face when there’s no routine and everything is unexpected. That’s what I want to write about Picture Quote #1

I wanted to write literature that pushed people into their lives rather than helping people escape from them Picture Quote #1

Among the small number of things that I have liked and known how to do well, what I have assuredly known how to do best is drink. Even though I have read a lot, I have drunk even more. I have written much less than most people who write; but I have drunk much more than most people who drink Picture Quote #1

You write something and there’s no reality to it. You can’t inject it with any kind of reality. You have to be patient and keep going, and then, one day, you can feel something signaling to you from the innermost recesses. Like a little person trapped under the rubble of an earthquake. And very, very, very slowly you find your way toward the little bit of living impulse Picture Quote #1

I don’t recommend being a bachelor, but it helps if you want to write Picture Quote #1

What does it mean when a man falls in love with a radiant face across the room? It may mean that he has some soul work to do. His soul is the issue. Instead of pursuing the woman and trying to get her alone, away from her husband, he needs to go alone himself, perhaps to a mountain cabin, for three months, write poetry, canoe down a river, and dream. That would save some women a lot of trouble Picture Quote #1

I want to write poems that are natural, luminous, deep, spare. I dream of an art so transparent that you can look through and see the world Picture Quote #1

The first task of the poet is to create the person who will write the poems Picture Quote #1

When I hit a period of not being able to write music, I get up and walk away. It’s pretty mean but it’s true Picture Quote #1

You can’t write a song out of thin air you have to feel and know what you are writing about Picture Quote #1

I always said when I was younger, I wanted to write film music, and I think that’s what my ultimate dream is Picture Quote #1

Composing is a natural fit. As far as the creative process goes, I’d rather do this than anything else, by far. Something different happened to me when I started to write music to images. It was a feeling of excitement and connection and a sense of being in the right place that I never had before Picture Quote #1

When you write a song, most of the words you use are in black and white, and then, from time to time, you use one that’s in color. These words in color are a part of ourselves, because we give them a meaning. If you like, we give them a third dimension Picture Quote #1

If you’re a voracious reader and you write something that you want to read, odds are other people will want to read it, too Picture Quote #1

He took me from not being able to write a word in terms of writing screenplays to being the king of wooden dialogue Picture Quote #1

If you criticize what you’re doing too early you’ll never write the first line Picture Quote #1
