Write Quotes

It’s easy to write one’s memoirs when one has a terrible memory Picture Quote #1

You see, writing down your meanderings gets something started deep in the recesses of your brain. That distant part of your mind knows that you want to write stories or poems or plays and not endless jabber, and it will get to work. It may take a while. You may have to write this stuff for hours or days or weeks, but eventually that subterranean part of your brain will come through and begin to send you ideas Picture Quote #1

I am glad to have found a readership, but one can’t write only what is likely to sell. A writer is not a shopkeeper. A writer creates an imaginary world that he transmits to others Picture Quote #1

Very often we write down a sentence too early, then another too late; what we have to do is write it down at the proper time, otherwise it’s lost Picture Quote #1

The real question is what to live for. And I can’t answer it. Except another one of your records. And another chance for me to write. Art for art’s sake, corny as that sounds Picture Quote #1

To observe the world carefully, to write a lot and often, on a schedule if necessary, to use the dictionary a lot, to look up word origins, to analyze closely the work of writers you admire, to read not only contemporaries but writers of the past, to learn at least one foreign language, to live an interesting life outside of writing Picture Quote #1

To write honestly and with all our powers is the least we can do, and the most Picture Quote #1

Now and again thousands of memories converge, harmonize, arrange themselves around a central idea in a coherent form, and I write a story Picture Quote #1

I write for young girls of color, for girls who don’t even exist yet, so that there is something there for them when they arrive. I can only change how they live, not how they think Picture Quote #1

I don’t write particularly to effect social change. I believe writing can do that, but thats not why I write Picture Quote #1

Let there be no inscription upon my tomb. Let no man write my epitaph. No man can write my epitaph. I am here ready to die. I am not allowed to vindicate my character; and when I am prevented from vindicating myself, let no man dare calumniate me. Let my character and motives repose in obscurity and peace, till other times and other men can do them justice Picture Quote #1

All I do is write their names on the lineup card and let them play. It’s not a tough job. I haven’t misspelled one name yet Picture Quote #1

Shakespeare wrote about love. I write about love. Shakespeare wrote about gang warfare, family feuds and revenge. I write about all the same things Picture Quote #1

I write novels about ordinary women who face seemingly insurmountable odds but through courage and determination find their heart’s desire Picture Quote #1

If you’re as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it? Picture Quote #1

One thing that worried me was how writers get categorized and so they end up having to write the same kind of book again and again. That is fine if it is what you want to do, but I would rather be locked in the trunk of my car with a weasel than write the same book every three years until I die Picture Quote #1

You learn to write by reading, and my experiences and tastes as a reader are pretty wide Picture Quote #1

I don’t write a great song every day. I don’t write a great song every couple weeks. It comes in such random times Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

You need to get outside of your comfort zone to write songs that are interesting, songs that are compelling, songs that are different from what other people are writing Picture Quote #1

Write. Write every day. Write honestly. Write something that doesn’t exist, and you wish did. Read. Learn. Study. Watch people. Listen to what they say, listen to how they say it and listen to what they do not say. Surprise yourself. Scare yourself Picture Quote #1

With the enormous and steady increase in the volume of our literature, we must rely more and more upon sympathetic selection, judicious editing, and the indexer who knows where to exercise discretion. Any simpleton can write a book, but it requires high skill to make an index Picture Quote #1

I am an improviser,... I improvise music. Whatever you want to call it all, it is all improvised music. I may capture it and go back and write it down for others, but it was originally improvised Picture Quote #1

Yet in our enthusiasm for the idea that everyone should be able to read and write fluently, we may be missing a crucial point: in today’s culture, finely honed literacy skills are simply not as important as they once were Picture Quote #1

In the course of four hours, I watched my brain completely deteriorate in its ability to process all information. On the morning of the hemorrhage, I could not walk, talk, read, write or recall any of my life. I essentially became an infant in a woman’s body Picture Quote #1

No academic ever expects to be taken seriously by more than three other people, because really, we write for three people in our field Picture Quote #1

It’s not knowing how to write that makes you interesting, it’s what you write Picture Quote #1

Do you all have a living room floor or a bedroom floor? Then you can write a book Picture Quote #1

Not being able to read and write music is not the same as being illiterate in speech and writing Picture Quote #1

While most of the music I write is instrumental, I love to use the human voice as another instrument Picture Quote #1

I tend to avoid writing music about initial reactions to situations, like frustration or anger. I’d rather wait till I go through the problem, and write about the learning that took place Picture Quote #1
