Writing Quotes

Writing a screenplay, for me, is like juggling. It’s like, how many balls can you get in the air at once? All those ideas have to float out there to a certain point, and then they’ll crystallize into a pattern Picture Quote #1

You can sit there, tense and worried, freezing the creative energies, or you can start writing something. It doesn’t matter what. In five or ten minutes, the imagination will heat, the tightness will fade, and a certain spirit and rhythm will take over Picture Quote #1

One suggestion my wife and I have used in our personal finance courses we teach at college is simply writing down all expenditures and seeing where the money goes. That alone will cause heads of households to think twice about x, y or z expenditure, and to consider carefully whether they really need something or not Picture Quote #1

Write even when the world is chaotic. You don’t need a cigarette, silence, music, a comfortable chair, or inner peace to write. You just need ten minutes and a writing implement Picture Quote #1

When you’re writing what you love, it’s the most fun you can have with your clothing still on, unless of course, you write naked Picture Quote #1

How much more generous it would be if, instead of writing parables about childhood wounds, psychologists were to accept that some differences between the sexes just are, that they are in the nature of the beasts, because each sex has an evolved tendency to develop that way in response to experience Picture Quote #1

For the first month of school, writing is its own upper. Pounding on my computer keys feels like playing the piano, like arranging words into harmony that sings back to me Picture Quote #1

I don’t know where the idea originated that memoir writing is cathartic. For me, its always felt like playing my own neurosurgeon, sans anesthesia. As a memoirist, you have to crack your head open and examine every uncomfortable thing in there Picture Quote #1

A young pianist and composer who has demonstrated an exceptional creativity, in both his playing and his writing, as well as showing us all, his very strong commitment and motivation to aim for high musical goals. Talent like his is rare Picture Quote #1

I’m singing from my heart now more than ever. I’ve gotten a lot braver with my writing Picture Quote #1

Writing is a deeply immersive experience. When the words are flying, the house could be burgled and I wouldn’t notice. I have a low boredom threshold and I like intensity – writing is a way of escaping the quotidian Picture Quote #1

If you are not a writer, you will not understand the difficulties of writing. If you are not a writer, you will not know the fears and hopes of the writers you teach Picture Quote #1

I don’t keep my books around... they would embarrass me. When I finish writing my books, I kick them in the belly, and have done with them Picture Quote #1

Writing as an art form belongs to all people, regardless of economic class or educational level... A writer is someone who writes Picture Quote #1

I started writing everything down.I wrote for the same reason someone lost sticks a message in a bottle. I’m here. Help. Please find me Picture Quote #1

Prayer is like practicing the piano or ballet or writing: you have to bring your body for a very long time, in spite of your body’s frailties and conflicts and general revolt, and then one day your body is not separate any more. You’ve in a sense become the piano or the dance or the word or the prayer. The prayer is in your heart. The prayer is your heart Picture Quote #1

Perfume is a form of writing, an ink, a choice made in the first person, the dot on the i, a weapon, a courteous gesture, part of the instant, a consequence Picture Quote #1

Only something extremely dire and disabling will ever stop a real writer from writing. Retirement is never an option Picture Quote #1

Writing is a fine thing, because it combines the two pleasures of talking to yourself and talking to a crowd Picture Quote #1

The best tip for writing is just to write; to sit down and write, to begin doing it and not to be scared by the blank page Picture Quote #1

Being smart in the arts is the same as being smart in engineering is the same as being smart in writing is the same as being smart in anything, really. It’s the ability to manipulate all the pieces of the puzzle in your mind, try to fit them together, and when they don’t fit quite right... you sand the edges/corners and make them all fit Picture Quote #1

So writing became a way to get to act in things that I thought were meaningful, and hopefully write stronger roles for other women Picture Quote #1

There are things you do when you’re writing that are so fun to do it’s almost like they’re private jokes that are amusing to you but no one else is going to enjoy them nearly as much and you worry you’re going to have to take them out in the end Picture Quote #1

Francie was ten years old when she first found an outlet in writing. What she wrote was of little consequence. What was important was that the attempt to write stories kept her straight on the dividing line between truth and fiction. If she had not found this outlet in writing, she might have grown up to be a tremendous liar Picture Quote #1

The story is what you learn about. When you read like a writer, you identify with the author and learn about writing Picture Quote #1

Reading and writing don’t inevitably go together. You can read without learning a thing about writing, grammar, or spelling, although, you certainly can’t learn anything about writing, grammar, or spelling unless you read Picture Quote #1

I’m not very good at praying, but what I experience when I’m writing a poem is close to prayer Picture Quote #1

We cannot overlook the importance of wild country as source of inspiration, to which we give expression in writing, in poetry, drawing and painting, in mountaineering, or in just being there Picture Quote #1

You don’t need to wait for inspiration to write. It’s easier to be inspired while writing that while not writing Picture Quote #1
